Re: Support Check In-
@krystaj - I'm sorry you are going through this... sometimes support groups are great, sometimes they are not. Have you been able to go to 1-on-1 counseling?
My heart feels for you, as my aunt had taken her own life years ago. I was just a baby, so I don't remember, but I do see the how it effected my mother. I hope you are feeling 'better' soon.
I've been checking in on this support group but haven't posted too much yet. Not-pregnant, I am prone to anxiety and depression. I've been feeling pretty anxious this pregnancy, but today and lately, just very sad. Losses on this board, fear of losing loved ones in general. I don't know why I am so worried about everyone around me lately.
Also, I am just very grateful for this board today and wouldn't mind a group hug.
I am doing little bit better. My anatomy scan went great, and we get to go back in 2 weeks they can get a picture of the spine (im not complaining about that). We found out we are having a girl, and I could not be any more happy about it.
Prozac has started to kick in and I am definitely feeling the difference.. Thank goodness!!!! Not sure where my weight is at, my intake is pretty much the same though.
The last two Weds I have had brown discharge bleeding... Freaks me out terribly. I think it is from the longer walks I have been starting to take on the weekends though, so im bed resting for a week and see if I bleed again next week. Times like this make me so glad I got a fetal doppler, cuz I can always check on her right away when it happens. Heartbeat is still good, and she is moving around like crazy right now.
I feel like a roller coaster. Im so happy, but so terrified at the same time. June cannot get here fast enough!!!
I posted on a stabby Saturday thread but I found out my little sister has a pretty severe cocaine and alcohol addiction. My older sister dealt with a meth problem and just relapsed last month. That was a one time thing but it was still stressful. Now with my little sister, I'm just exhausted. I am trying to work and be productive but it is sapping all my energy.
I have also had too many obligations (something every. Single. Day.) for two weeks and with work and my sisters and the losses on the board, I'm so exhausted. The losses have triggered my anxiety and I just want to curl up and go to sleep until June. Blah.
Omg THIS EXACTLY!! I lost my mom at age 11 from an overdose (she was only 37) and lost my dad at 21 from alcohol.. I feel like this baby will be taken from me as well. Growin up my life was far from easy and I got bounced around a lot from family to family. I just feel so un deserving of this baby and I know the depression is the cause of those feelings. I have a lot of unresolved issues with my parents deaths and I just feel like since they were taken away from me, my little girl will be too. It is such a messed up feeling. I just try to keep believing that my parents are watching over me and my little one and everything will be okay...
Pregnancy is such a hard time in a womans life...
