I’m so confused and don’t know how to feel, I thought at almost 30 I would have beaten this illness.
I noticed feeling worse and worse over the last couple of weeks, finally got the courage up to tell my partner. He seemed understanding and I felt better letting it out.
we had a bad argument today and he mocked and made fun of me, and saying things like it’s all about me, and I’m sad all the time. Even called my family and ranted to them.
I wish I could show them how I feel. I have never felt soo ashamed and more like disappearing. We fight soo badly, it gets so intense. I’m pregnant, and have 3 kids, I feel even more ashamed at these factors. I just wish I could make all the shit stuff go away!

Hi Stacey92 ànd welcome to the forums and making your first post.You will find this a caring non judgemental environment.
That was brave of you to tell your partner about how you are struggling with your mental health.I am sorry that he made fun of you and put you down.That is unaceptable.Yoy have done nothing wrong and you should never to be treated like that.You have three kids plus one to come to think of and they need two supportive parents.Your partner should be supporting you and lifting you up and not putting you down.
Take care,
Mark
