I wouldn’t say I’m depressed

But I’m feeling really down. This pregnancy has knocked me out of everything I considered normal in my life Eating,digesting,caring for my daughter,physical activity,creativity,and even feeding my family I haven’t cleaned or cooked for my family in over 7 weeks. Maybe 2-3 times and my laundry situation has been a MESS. I couldn’t find clean underwear! My dirty clothes is mixed with clean. I mean I’m just besides myself. Idk what to do or tell myself because every week that passes by has been one too many. I feel useless and sick. My first pregnancy was easier but I also didn’t have a toddler. I dont any to come off ungrateful I’m so blessed to have this opportunity of carrying but these symptoms are so hard .

Show your support

I relate so much I don’t have a toddler but I do very much relate so sorry you are going through this as well

I can relate as well! My garden is overgrown and dead plants, no desire to do anything lack of energy and motivation. I keep trying to remind myself that my body is building a human from scratch and I can’t imagine what it’s with another little person running around! My therapist keeps telling me to try and have some grace with myself. I am hoping for 2nd trimester a bit more energy. I was not prepared to be taken out like this with pregnancy. Ladies are not alone.

@Sarah I’m about to be 18 weeks and was told oh the nausea and vomiting gets better. the tiredness gets better. I’m like where? When? 😅😭🥺 cause I’m more tired a sick than the first trimester 😭

Oh no @Mae I’m so sorry to hear that I’m 15 weeks And not feeling Better I hope Both of us…ALL OF US going through this get better. It really does feel like forever for some reason. And yes my therapist says the same but it’s like going in one ear out the other. @Sarah

I so feel you!!! Struggling with severe depression and wasn't able to get anything done in weeks. Today was the day I pushed myself to get the darn dishes cleaned and floor mopped. And half the laundry done. U just wanto sleep all day. Im so glad I dont have to work but omg. I try to pick up a shift and then I get super tired I cancel it right away. Nope I don't have any energy. It's week 16 yeah where is this boost of energy?
