https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/pregnant-and-becoming-increasingly-depressed/m-p/481629#M41259 I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant and I hate it. Mentally, i'm not the same anymore and I find myself becoming more and more withdrawn from activities and family. I sleep most days when not at work, and no, it's not just pregnancy exhaustion. I have no appetite for food and nothing I do eat is ever satisfying. My partner lives interstate - though hes moving in 3 weeks - and I find myself becoming more withdrawn from him as well. The pressure of the whole situation is really getting to me and I am so tired of all conversation revolving around me being pregnant. I feel weighted down by it all, and I don't mean that I don't want my baby, but I hate being pregnant and how it's changing how I feel.

Sorry to read you are struggling at present. I am wondering if you have been to have a chat with your Dr about how you are feeling? A health check may be beneficial.</P> <P>The Dr may be able to suggest someone you can talk to in regards to your mental health state, as it is just as important as our general health..</P> <P>Would you like to share more of what is making you feel so hateful about being pregnant? </P> <P>Do you have specific concerns that keep playing over in your mind? Could you write them down in a journal to help find the cause of your thoughts?</P> <P>Maybe you could Google to see if there is a pregnancy support number or even Women's Health Centre in your area or nationally where you could talk to someone.</P> <P>Do you have activities you enjoy doing? Is it possible to add more of those into each day when possible?</P> <P>When people go on about your pregnancy more than you appreciate, can you ask them kindly to change the subject? Would that work for you?</P> <P>Hope you find some things that will help you.</P> <P>Regards from Dools</P> <P> </P> Mon, 25 Nov 2019 04:38:06 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/pregnant-and-becoming-increasingly-depressed/m-p/481630#M41260 Doolhof 2019-11-25T04:38:06Z
