Depression/Hormones?

So I'm not sure if this is a thing or not. Probably is but lately I've been feeling really... Numb? I guess. Mostly just like a wallflower whenever I'm in a room even with my husband. I know these hormones change us in ways we can't understand or always control but I'm so tired of crying every time I think of the little things in my relationship that bothers me. I feel like I need to get away and that I need to breath. I don't want to be around anyone but I don't want to be alone. I don't want to eat and don't feel like sleeping cause its too quiet and I don't wanna be left alone for so long to my thoughts... Idk what to do. I know I need to talk to my husband about this but in the mean time how can I make this sadness stop? 25 weeks... FTM. Anything please?..

Depression runs in my immediate and whole family so I'm kind of worried but I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and keep myself busy but of course if I feel its not working I find no shame in asking for help as I have from my husband. Hoping for a relaxing day today with him. <3

I've been talking to my husband and I think that has helped but yesterday I did have another random break down I guess because I was alone in the house and things got too quiet for me and I just started feeling really sad.. But I was able to distract myself by cleaning the bathroom. I'm really anxious cause I'm in my Nesting phase but don't have any of her stuff yet to organize. Maybe once I get her things ready I'll feel better? I will definitley keep a depression counciler in mind because I thought my sadness was over but I'm seeing I was just suppressing it :/

I was actually diagnosed as manic depressive when I was younger, but now with the pregnancy I don't want to be on meds since nothing is 100% safe for the baby. It's been really hard, but I make sure to stay in close contact with my counselors about whatever I am feeling and it really helps. If your depression gets to the point that you just can't handle it, do not hesitate to find a professional to talk to. You'd be amazed at how much having an impartial party there to talk to helps.

well every woman is different, your depression can last the whole pregnancy it can last even when the baby's born it's really all up to you and how you feel. postpartum depression is when its kinda bad, when you start having bad thoughts you're crying everyday you feel like you can't take care of the baby like things that bother you everyday. if it gets to that point than you need to go see a depression counselor!!

Thanks everyone this really helps... On my next day off I plan to take a walk with my husband and talk to him about everything. I think a calm environment will be better for me to explain myself than the closed off spaces of our room. I just want to know if it will pass and when does it usually subside? I'm very worried about post partum...

don't worry girl a lot of us get depressed during pregnancy! do things that are peaceful for you..go on walks by yourself or get in the bath. always remember to breathe and relax and just think about your baby. talk to your boyfriend and let him know how you feel, you never know he might actually help you feel better.

Just breathe and relax and if he loves u then he will understand that your body is going thru a lot of different mood swings and hormones and symptoms of being pregnant, plus it's your first child so it's very normal. I've felt this way plenty of times with my fiance but I know I love him and I don't wanna be without him. So I just walk off and go outside and breathe for a lil while, my mom told me about how her and my dad split up while she was pregnant with me bc they couldn't get alone, and she was crazy lol, she was a mean bossy pregnant woman, so she left him or he left her I just wanna say, follow ur  heart
