Afraid to tell doctor about depression Posted: 06-30-08 21:50pm
I am afraid to tell my doctor about the
depression that I feel during this
pregnancy. Its weird, because right now I
am trying to be strong. I have tried so
hard to be a good mom, but I just don't
know what to do.
My EX boyfriend is a depressed alcoholic
awaiting treatment. and I am starting to
be depressed and a bit anxious. I don't
have any friends cause I spent all of my
time trying to help him. I just don't know
how to stop these feelings.
My ex said that he wants to 'be there'
when she's born. His mom has made my life
hell. She's made it really hard for me
during the pregnancy. I asked my ex to
move some of his stuff so I can make room
for the baby. His mom calls me yelling at
me telling me not to bother him. Meanwhile
I have all of his stuff in the way.
I am so scared that I am not going to
make it with a baby. I just don't know how
to make ends meet and how to get
motivated. I am scared to tell my doctor
or anyone about negitive thoughts i have
because my ex is related to the doctor and
I don't want to be dubbed as an unfit
mom.
The hard thing is is that I am so excited
and so darn scared. I am scared that him
and his parents are going to ruin my life
with this baby. I just need help to get
strong and get rid of the saddness and
fear I feel.
