Long time lurker but decided to make an account just to get some advice as I've no idea what else to do.
I'm 32 weeks pregnant with my second child (DS is 2) and for the past 2 or so weeks I've been feeling so depressed and anxious that it's starting to become unbearable. I've mentioned it to the midwife but I don't think she's really sure what to do either, she gave me some helpline numbers like Samaritans and women's aid but I don't feel like a one off chat will do me any good.
I do have a lot going on but I've just never felt this bad before. I feel as though I'm drowning in my own sadness and I don't even know why I'm feeling sad in the first place. I feel like I'm letting DS down as we've been stuck in the house as I'm too anxious to get out and the place is so messy but I've no energy to do a big clean, I've barely got the energy to brush my hair.
I've put DS down for an early nap and I'm sat here crying wondering how I'm going to make it through the day once he wakes up. I've messaged everyone I know nearby and no one is free to meet up or come round for a chat so I'm stuck here alone.
I don't know what I'm hoping for from this post really. Did anyone else feel like this at this point in pregnancy? Is it just hormonal? Would it be worth seeing the GP or would they just tell me to speak to the midwife?
