I’ve been having problems in my relationship with my boyfriend as well as other family issues along with child custody issues with my daughter and financial issues. I’m also 6 months pregnant and all of this is starting to weigh in heavily on my mental health I think. I’ve been crying myself to sleep every night, I’m more moody than usual, and just not happy about much at all. I have an appointment to see my doctor, I know that a lot of the symptoms I’m having are normal with pregnancy but this is starting to affect my work and social life and I want to make sure it doesn’t spiral out of control. Has anyone gone through something similar that can give me some suggestions on how to handle this? And are there any SAFE medications they can even give you while your pregnant??

I’m 21 and I have been out of work and school and barely able to drive for the last 8 months for my panic disorder/ severe depression…I went to the hospital last night because
i felt really sick and found out I was 5 weeks 4 days pregnant..I had no idea because I was still having my menstrual..I’ve been on ativan for the last 8 months b/c I havent found a med for my panic/depress. and its keeping me somewhat stable until I found a med so I could get my life back..I’m so scared and idk what to do everyone saying I should get an abortion so I can get myself better but I really dont believe in that but I dont know what to do..I wouldnt be able to support the baby right now b/c im unable to work due to my severe panic and stuff..
i smoke and i’ve been taking ativan this whole time and didnt know I was pregnant and im worried its harmed the baby and I’ve been on it for 8 months and I know coming off of it causes seizures..any advice would be greatly appreciated..thx

its a long story..my sister is 4 years older than me and she is nervous since she was little always having this sentiment than my family doesnt support her and also than my family makes difference between us,also than she envy me beacuse i am more pretty(she thinks).

now she is 29 and still doesnt make any difference even if we make efforts to support her everytime she needs us only than she cannot see that we care and we want her good,she always tell us bad words,talks to us on a nervous accent,yells..blames us,makes us feel guilty even for things than we didnt intend to do…

My boyfriend and his brother purchased a house together almost 2 years ago. I began dating him since they moved in to the house. I am now 4 months pregnant and living with them both. We have had many problems and conflicts with his brother. He is almost 33, single and can not get a girlfriend. My boyfriend feels that he is stuck living in this house at the moment and feels like he can not leave his brother stuck. I am constantly depressed and feel horrible living in this house. I want more then anything to have a place where I can live with my baby and boyfriend alone and in peace. My boyfriend is different when his brother is around and we never have time or privacy for just the two of us. My boyfriend is almost 30 and I am almost 25. I am still in school and he feels that this isn’t a good time to move out. He says i need to finish school and he needs to grow his Business more. I have an apt that I never stay in because my boyfriend wants me to live with him. We live in the outskirts of a city in the country. My apt is further in the country then his house. Staying there alone does not make me feel any better. I do not know what to do… I feel like all the stress and lack of emotional and physical support from my boyfriend during this pregnancy is hurting me and the baby. He is more concerned with his work and family then with me and this child. Everyone says that once the baby is here he will change, but how can i be sure. His family support him and his brother in everything and have been the main ones to tell him that he can not move out and leave his brother. ( Since he is alone and single and has problems with depression) I have talked to my boyfriend many many many times but nothing changes. He doesn’t see anything wrong rather I am the one with the problem. ( that is what i am sure is parents make him believe) I didnt know what to do.. I am sad everyday and feel like he is not here for me the way I need him to be. When we lay in bed and i ask him to rub my back or massage me he says he is tired from working all day. And is usually falling asleep. I feel like i have no support and it just makes it 100 times worse the living situation and that I have no family or friends in this state. Advice would be great.. And if i sound emotional I am.. its a very difficult time…

I am 14 weeks pregnant and extremely happy to be having a baby. The only problem is I am so moody and I am driving my fiance up the wall. I am so touchy and get upset with everything he says. We went to a party on Friday and I get upset even when he talks to my friends. Its like I’m so insecure. I was never like this before – I believed in my relationship.
I’m so scared that I am pushing my fiance away – he even said this morning that he wishes the pregnancy was over so I can be normal again.

Please help – I really don’t know what to do.

For the very rude LUV2HELP!!! His brother doesnt care about him or anyone! He went as far as physically pushing to get through and attack his brother!

I’m currently 40 weeks and 1 day pregnant, for those of you not too hip on the timing of gestation, that means i’m a day overdue, no biggie.

Anyways, my mother called me yesterday while i was at my prenatal appointment and left a drunken message about how she’s in detox and she’s sorry, and she’s not going to be there for my baby’s birth, or a while afterwards while she compleates the program.

I’m 22 years old, and this isn’t the first time she’s skipped out on me when i need her the most, when i was 12 she had me institutionalized, i stayed in a residential treatment center for 3 years. when i was “ready” to be released she opted to instead ask that they release me to a grouphome, all the while telling me she loves me and didn’t really want to but that she “just can’t handle me”.

i was best friends with this one girl for a really long time. in 10th grade everything started to change. She started to have really bad depression. I would always help and support her. Then she said she was pregnent one day. That changed all my thoughts about her and i felt wierd even talking to her. (she only 15!!) Then one day she told me she had an abortion which i am totally against. ( just because you get an abortion doesnt mean your unpregnent, just means your a mother of a dead baby) I dont know if that was just for attention or if its true because how can you get an abortion without your parents knowing (legally) and now she acts really sl u tt y. she expects me to be there and talk to her but i feel like i cant. she smokes and drinks.
am i wrong or right? should i just stop talking to her? Was she lying about the pregnancy?

My best friend just had a miscarriage about a week ago and now she’s kind of in and out of depression. She’s in a funk. I want to help her get out of this but she’s shutting everybody out and it seems like nothing I say or do works. What can I do to help her overcome this and move on. I don’t like seeing her like this. I’m not the best with words and I really don’t know what to do or say anymore. Can someone please help me?

I was just wondering whether i would be able to get some life advice here, i guess i should start from the beginning. I had a miscarriage at 4 months last october and it hasn’t been until lately i don’t think i have got over the emotional side of it. I guess because i was so excited and happy about having a baby its now made me want it even more because of that. I also had a miscarriage in march 2008 and another this year in march, Both times i didn’t know i was pregnant.
In some ways im thankful that i lost my babies last year as i was in an abusive relationship, but after meeting my partner in november last year things have been great, i was happier than ever, we have since moved in together and got to know everything about each other.
My partner told me at the beginning of the relationship that he wanted children too and i didn’t say anymore about it, but we had an open conversation a couple of weeks ago and he told me he didn’t know what he wanted in the future and that he didn’t want kids. This has broken my heart and i even thought of leaving him, I mean, what is the point of being with someone who doesn’t want what you want right? I’m so confused, i’ve since kept my thoughts to myself, and its killing me, I’m so depressed and i keep crying to myself, he does notice the sadness in my face and asks me if im ok but i can’t bring myself to talk to him about it, i just think that if i talk to him about it ill lose him anyway, i don’t want to pressure him into having a future that he doesn’t want, we both deserve to be happy, but he has already said that he feels im making him choose between me and children or nothing, i really don’t want to lose him or hurt him but a life without having children is something i can’t bare. Everyone is having children lately and even my best friend has discovered that she is 7 weeks pregnant so i cant even talk to her about my problems because she is so happy about her pregnancy, Please help!! x
