Depression depression depression

I'm so sick and tired of being depressed! I'm surrounded by people who are happy and in loving relationships. It makes me want to cry how alone I feel. My mom even said she wished I had a date...I wish that too! But as soon as someone hears I'm pregnant, they stop talking to me...even my so called friends. I've been trying st johns wort, but might talk to my Dr about prozac when I go in because I also have horrible anxiety problems... 20 years old and almost 18 weeks prego

I have dealt with depression my whole pregnancy you should look into speaking to professional about your depression and looking into joining groups with similar stories so you don't think your the only one. I also found that going shopping even if u don't buy.anything helps you could started planning all the things you want/need for the baby. I never wanted to take any meds I'm 36 Weeks and single its a daily struggle my depression is so bad I'm over being prego cant wait to pop this baby out. and the fact that our hormones are crazzzyyyyyy doesn't help much but I'm hoping I'll be back to normal once I have this baby. Good luck

Aww babe I hear ya. Its the extra hormones making us feel crazy. Im 20 years old too and 10 weeks and as soon as I told my friends that im pregnant and i quit drinking and smoking, I haven't heard from them since. Legit every single one of my friends did the same thing. then they wanna text it me every once in a while like " oh hows... ya know" and i refuse to talk to people. About it who don't care to even come hang out and just wanna know cause their nosey and need something else to gossip about! It just goes to Shows you who's real and actually cares and noone needs people who are just gonna use them. Just know your not alone <3 <3

Babe go see yr doc, unfortunatly the depression is more likely to get worse after you have yr baby. I was depressed with my first, it got worse after he was born, it was then that I was put on depression tabs. On my second baby now, feeling alot beta as I know how to manage these hormones and my hapiness

Im having depression issues too. I'll be 34 wks tmrw and I am drooling at the thought of starting Zoloft again. I want to be "normal". It'll probably help not having my hormones raging too.
