Depression while Pregnant

...See more I'm pregnant for the first time. Right at 15 weeks. I dont have any support. Sure, I have my husband... but I don't have any woman support in my life. No village. No friends. Not even family is interested. Whenever someone asks... they ask about the baby. I mentioned being stressed out about having gestational diabetes... and was met with "but baby's okay right?" I've also been hand making tons of things for this baby, and have been excited to share each item... but no one is interested. I'm just sad, no one seems to care. I don't expect to be center of attention but I did expect at least a little care and support, especially from those who I specifically made sure of when they had their babies. I checked in with THEM about THEM first and I'm just... not receiving the same care. I'm so exhausted. Tired of being an afterthought. I dont want to be absorbed by my baby. I want to still be a person too.

...See more I know this is the thread for depression support. I just wanted to put out there that... I've figured some stuff out. I was on a mental spiral there for a while. I'm trying so hard to keep a record of it through journaling. It's helped a lot. It's this years goal for me to write every day this year - and it's done so much. Flipping back, I can read about triggers and track when my depressive episodes hit me. I just kind of wanted to put it out there that I'm trying. Maybe someone else can get inspiration from this, maybe pick up journaling to try too. It helps to be able to look back and pinpoint things to help get back on track. I'm on and off of 7 Cups a lot but it's really helped and I'm grateful for every person who's been supportive despite how bad I've gotten. I want to help others just like others have helped me. ❤️

...See more somehow im still here. stuck in the same old, same old. ive never had these feelings this bad. im slowly coming to realize im not worth it to my family. or my spouse. I didnt even get a "happy valentines day". no card from him. no flowers. no nothing. I barely got "happy birthday" (my birthday is three days before valentines day). im so exhausted. love and understanding was never meant for me.

...See more christmas has always been so complicated for me. im feeling especially depressed right now, putting in so much effort for people who probably wont even bother for me. I want to cry. I want to lay down and cease to exist. my heart is heavy. im tired. I have no one to talk to.

...See more i made a post months ago, back in july about feeling replaceable and invisible. unfortunately for me, that never went away. i have so much going on in my head and no one i can spill it all too, not even my closest friend. they have so much going on too, so do my siblings and i dont want to burden them. my spouse doesn't really listen, they never do, not until im screaming and crying and having a whole meltdown, which is embarrassing and i hate it. i hate feeling this way and i hate letting it all build and boil over.
