I'm 40 + 6 weeks, I've been generally happier throughout pregnancy. The last week or so my mood has absolutely plummeted to rock bottom... If I walk into town I feel like EVERYONE hates me... I DONT fit in anywhere. I feel like my partner doesn't even want to be with me, feel like he's only staying because of our baby being born and will probably leave afterwards. He's really grumpy. And I'm finding it hard to even recognise my own families faces... I know who they are but can't link the face to the person :-'( I'm at rock bottom and having to deal with the fact I'm going to give birth soon which I'm terrified of as I'm sure most of you are too. It's all too much and obviously I wouldn't do anything to harm myself right now as it would also harm my baby.... But I'm so worried that when he's born it will all be too much and I'll slip back into self harming. I've never felt like this, I've never been so completely insecure and disgusted by myself, never been so depressed. I feel like there is no way out.. No way at all. And I might lose my partner because I don't feel he wants to be with me :-'(
Re: Suicidal...
I've struggled with mental illness all my life, and what you're saying about not recognizing family members faces and wanting to self harm sounds familiar and alarming. It doesn't mean you're crazy, but it's not something you should take lightly either. Pm me if you want to. If I don't respond I just don't know how to but I'll still try to. But get help from someone! You don't deserve to feel like this.
