I had a few good days. Just feel so defeated and down today.
My partner is definitely a trigger for me.
He'll hear me crying and just gets so cold and distant. Won't ask what's going on, or how I'm doing. That's all I want. I feel like if he could just hold me for a moment or something it could really help.
It sets me into this spiral of intense anxiety. I feel like he just pushes me further.
He says when I want to be happy I will.
That I want to be depressed and drag people down with me.
He gets frustrated with me because I'm depressed and have had these awful panic and anxiety attacks for almost a year. The entire time I was pregnant.
I just feel really alone.
I don't really have any friends.
My insurance is making it difficult to get any sort of therapist.
I really never thought I'd be 26 with a baby living at my mom's.
Life did terrible things to us though and this is where we are.
I love my baby but I think he'd grow up better with just my partner and a better mom.
Sometimes I don't have these thoughts and I feel crazy for every having had them.
But then shit just spirals.
I'm sad. Partner pushes me away, is cold and distant. I feel anxiety building. I freak out.

Re: defeated
You're the best mom for your baby despite limitations. Just ask someone who's adopted.
Yeah, he's really the best person I know, but stubborn and ignorant when it comes to this one, very important, thing.
