Give me some motivation... How did you get through a tough time?

[Thinkpositive23]

Basically as title says...

Having a really awful time with DP I'm suffering from major depression while 7 months pregnant I have no friends or family and just need some motivation and light at the end of the tunnel story's I think so how did you and your dp get through tough times??

Thanks x

Didn't want to read and run. I'm really sorry you're having such a hard time. Pregnancy can be draining at the best of times.

Where are your friends and family?

Do you have anyone you can talk to IRL? Work colleagues, maybe?

OP - I am sorry you feel like that - does your doctor know?
You really need to look for help. You’ll be a high risk for post-partum depression and it’ll all be harder then.

Please - for your sake and your future child - get help now.
There are medications that are safe in pregnancy. You just need to talk to a health professional

I was about to post a lighthearted "shut your emotions off and eat a lot" response but then I noticed you said you had no friends or family. Is that something that has come about since being with your partner?

Is there a reason you have no friends?
Basically they are what got me through a really tough time.
Have you tried counselling?
What is tough about it all?

Thanks for all your replies. I have a poisonous relationship with my mum who basically uses me and drops me which I withdrew from and to be honest need to was a good choice. I struggle to maintain relationships with people as when it comes to actually socialising I tend to try and cancel instead of get dressed and go and my previous friends hate my dp for one reason or another.

Seeing midwife tomorrow so I shall raise the low mood point... struggling to get it through to dp how I feel about it all and why I'm being distant and stuff...

Thanks for all your replies.... means alot

I’m sorry you’re having such a difficult time.
Light at the end of the tunnel- your beautiful baby, in a couple of months.
There’s then an opportunity to make it new friend at mother and baby groups.
I find trying to compartmentalise problems and deal with them one at a time, so only focusing on one problem at a time. I realise this doesn’t work for everyone. Share all your worries with your HV, she’s trained to help.
Look after yourself and baby.💐

Sorry * midwife not HV
