emotional rollercoaster

Im having a really hard time with my emotions. I had depression issues and anxiety attacks before I was pregnant, and now not being able to take my medication I fear im loosing my mind.

My partner is trying to be supportive but im still crying constantly. 5 minutes ago I found my self reading about abortions, and im so angry and sad at my self for doing it. I want this baby, and I love my partner I just feel like im loosing my mind. What can I do? I cant do this everyday, I cant feel this low.

Does anyone else deal with this? Is there a way to cope? I need help...

Yea it's so unfair sometimes how er have to tip toe around or spouses feeling when we are the ones falling apart I had a good old fashioned break down yesterday morning.. We live in the middle of no were literally off the grid nothing with in 50 miles really.. And my husband decided he was going to go to town with one of his buddy's well the town they were going to is like 120 mils round trip and bear in mind I'm a stay at home mom and I haven't left our homestead in weeks and we only have one truck that works.. I about lost it when he said they were going shopping and out to eat and all the things I never get to do.. He couldn't understand why I was so upset and yea it was hormones too but I feel like he can be so inconsiderate about my feeling and the fact that I am stuck Herr 24/7 .. But man if I say anything about it being unfair he starts in on how hard he works and how he busts his but for this family and makes me feel like ****.. I love my husband but being pregnant and still treated Like a hired hand is about to make me snap lol

Frist I want to thank everyone for sharing and trying to help, it truly means alot.

But farmermom, thats exactly what in dealing with! My partner is a grouchy guy, always has been. Now with my emotions being so crazy he gets annoyed by them. And it makes me feel even worse! Thankfully he realizes that he is being a douche and usally apologizes, but sometimes the damage is already done.

I feel like no one understands whats going on inside me, im tired, im hungry, im emotional, I constantly have to pee and boobs are killing me!  I know hundreds of thousands of women have done this before me, and I will be okay. But in the moment what im feeling is so real.

Oh yea I feel ya!!! My husband has been pissing me off soo bad lately because I can't handle my emotions we have two boys already and with our second I got the worst post parton depression.. Instead of him trying to be helpful he just gets mad and is like I can't wait tell your do e being pregnant I'm so tired of this **** I can't handle your stupid mood swings... And all this makes me cry and depressed even more... I was on meds post pregnancy but I can't take them now I feel like I'm crazy and screaming in a crowded room and no body hears me

Hun just bear in mind that ur hormones are completely out of wack. I struggled in the first trimester and some of second trimester with feeling of complete sadness, anger, love, hate you name it and i felt it. Thankfully my hormones have calmed down and i am feeling great. Baby will be here in 12 days and i am so excited. Just try and ride out the emotions. If u have a supportive partner that helps so much. Good luck Hun. I really hope

I am dealing with social phobia and depression. I have been having a really hard time. When it gets hard I cry HARD and feel better afterwards. Exercise does help also. I also stick my face in books Constantly and watch movies to make the time pass. I was actually going to post about this a couple days ago but chickened out. I am 29 weeks now, it's been a long road but it's worth it!

If you are having that hard of a time with it hun,, schedual an appt for earlier for the depression. Im on meds for mine and It really helps. I have to start weaning myself off it soon because the baby can be born addicted to it but im 31w 4d and am going to try and deal with the emotions that Im sure will come with coming off my meds. I have a great family and friend support system.
I think its better to get the help you need then to not get the help. Its better for you and the little one if you can keep yourself in a more stable mind.
Also dont watch those videos or read about the abortion stuff, you dont need that.

My family (me included) have a strong history if depression..all on my mums side..my dister is currently pregnant and at 10 weeks they switched her meds from fluoxetine to citalopram..(i was on citalopram and not taking it now...but i came off slowly several months before conceiving and im fine) she wasnt however and had to even increase her initial dose..if you tell your dr how your feeling..they should recognise you need medication..some are safer than others and in my sisters case the benefits outweigh the risks..in your case being so low you looked at abortion sites is proof you need some help..I honestly think you need to talk to dr..me and my sis are both under a consultant at the mo to monitor us..even though im not taking meds..you need that support too..

I find myself crying or of nowhere also. I have anxiety too. So in in a similar boat not being able to take my Xanax anymore. I know it seems like the emotional weight of the world is club down on you but just keep it in your head that or wine always be like that. Try going on walks. Being in my hubbys arms and hearing his reassurance makes me feel better. I know it must be taxing on him too.... But like I said, try walking. .. even if it's by yourself with headphones in
