Waking up feeling powerless each day. Walking around consistently with broken hearts and dreams. Knowing I’m the one that’s ruined all my relationships. Family. Friends. Relationships. I don’t know how to have close relationships. I don’t know how to be normal. Or feel happy. I’m a horrible person. That’s why I’m being punished. Freaking out, I’m pregnant. I just want it to be over. I know I’m going to be in so much pain after the operation as I’m so far along. And it’s a 3 hour car drive to the place & back. Not mentioning the cost. It’s so debilitating. I don’t want a baby, I can’t love myself let alone love or look after another. Just want to feel ok. Not depressed.

Hi _Sinner_,
It sounds like you are going through alot at the moment. With the pregnancy and trouble in your current relationships. I would urge you to talk to your GP or Obstetrician about what you're feeling and going through at the moment. They can assist with some of your depressive symptoms as well as make a referral to a psychologist if needed. I hope you know that you're not alone and that there are services that can help out new mums as well.
For pregnancy support, Mothersafe is a free telephone service for the women of NSW https://www.seslhd.health.nsw.gov.au/royal-hospital-for-women/services-clinics/directory/mothersafe
Here is a fact sheet about depression and anxiety during pregnancy: https://www.seslhd.health.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/groups/Royal_Hospital_for_Women/Mothersafe/...
When you deliver there are again services I recommend you reach out to for advice and support if needed.
Tresilian is an Australia wide early parent service that offer practical support, professional advice, education and guidance to families with a baby, toddler or pre-school. Check them out here: https://www.tresillian.org.au/services/
Karitane is another service I always advocate for. They are a NSW service similar to Tresilian who offer both face-to-face and virtual services for families across NSW with children from birth to five years. Here are some of the many services they can provide: https://karitane.com.au/our-services
I hope this post helps a bit. Keep us posted.
Bob
