Friendship

I don’t know y’all I’m having a hard time with this one. My friend and I recently got into because we both have been feeling our friendship is drifting apart. My friend just recently got pregnant for the first time and I have a 9 month old currently. Well after talking I found out she was purposely being a petty bitch towards me and didn’t tell me she was pregnant right away because she wanted to essentially get back at me. But she failed to remember that when I got pregnant she was like the second person we told so that makes no sense for her to treat me that way. Well we did talk and agreed we wanted to do better but after giving it some more thought I’m now turned off from the friendship and don’t know if this is someone I want to give my time and energy to. I think I honestly can’t trust her intentions any longer and that’s why I’m having second thoughts. What do you think? Or what would you do?

Depressed, angry, irritable

I don’t know what to do. I’m so depressed and irritable. I don’t know how to get out of this. I’m so angry at my fiancé and am planning to break up with him because all of this anger and resentment has swelled over the last few weeks that I cannot let go of. I’m so sad and unmotivated. I don’t want to be around people but I do find comfort at times of being around people when I’m forced too.

Has anyone else felt these things? I feel so alone and scared. Especially about potentially becoming a single mom

Perinatal Depression

Hey ladies First time poster here Im currently 8 and a half weeks pregnant with my first baby & have a history of mental illness: Anxiety, OCD & Depression which I currently take 150mg of Zoloft Before I got pregnant I was stable, I haven’t had a episode for quite some time Lately I just feel so down, I’m not cleaning my house & if I do I’m only doing what I can, I always just want to lay in bed and watch tv, I don’t want to do anything And then my OCD kicks in and I’m having all these negative thoughts and fears about getting postnatal once I have the baby and it freaks me out even more

I have been with my partner for 8 years this year and for the past year or so I’ve been asking him for a baby but his always said we need to buy our own house first So this pregnancy wasn’t planned but now that it’s happened I feel asif he is way more excited then I am and I want to be excited, I’ve been wanting a baby for a very long time

Prenatal anxiety and depression

This is my first baby and much wanted after ivf. I’m suffering badly with prenatal anxiety and depression. I have a history of anxiety and it’s so bad everyday. I don’t feel like myself until the evening. I’m struggling to focus at work or get on with daily life. It’s causing depression too and making me cry. Anyone else?
