I did some serious research into pre-natal depression today. 2 of th most common factors of devloping the illness is depression in your family and previously suffering with depression before. Check was on anti -depressents and saw a councilor for years. Until I met my partner about 2 years ago. Also suffering a miscarriage. I didn't deal with my mc well at all, and even said to my mifdwife although I had no help after for it , I do feel like my depression came back.
Pre-natal is very common in the first trimester because of the sudden boost in hormones and all the bodily changes. I don't want to think I fit into this and I certinaly don't want to admit iv fallen back into the 'depression' I cant talk to my friends as they dismiss it as 'hormones'.
I know its more. The symptoms online are practically all I have. I'm not excited, I'm not happy, I don't smile. I'm worried, anxious, can't sleep properly, can't eat (although that's sickness aswell) I have no joy in anything. Like I'm in a big black hole. I should be so happy! I wanted this baby so much! Now when ever anyone says conrgats on the pregnancy it makes my skin crawl and I want them to stop. How selfish is that! I just wondered if anyone else knows about this or knows soemone who does. I know its a very taboo subject. I don't wanna feel a basket case. And I'm a bit scared going to mw. Although I know I need to. But its hard even admitting to my partner I think I'm struggling cuz I wanted this baby so much :'( . Just feel lost. I don't no what's wrong.
