about 3 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant. I will be 21 next month, I’m not married and I’m just finishing up my associates degree. This has really been a toll on me. I don’t want to abort my baby, but I feel sad and down. I sleep all day and I can’t muster up the energy to do anything. I feel hopeless and like a bad person. I struggle with the decision on whether or not to keep it, but I kind of already got my mind made up. I’m always sick. Everyday I wake up I’m just sick and I feel disgusting. I got my hair done and did my eyebrows to feel better, but nothing works. I still feel ugly and sad. I feel energyless and alone. I’d never think I’d be in the internet writing this stuff but I’m desperate. Idk what this means. Idk if I’m really depressed or if it’s the hormones, but I just want to be happy again. I’m so sick and tired of bein sick and tired.
I was in a similar situation. I never really got excited about being pregnant and was so sick and sad. Towards the end of my pregnancy it got better but i still was sad. Once he got here that changed and i love him to pieces. My doctor mention that there are safe antidepressants if i did get really bad but they tend to run the risk of birth defects so I didnt try them. I just tried to take one day at a time and just keep moving and distracting myself and telling myself it would pass. So just know you will be happy again. You might just need some time for hormones to adjust.
Side note I also ended up in a totally different career after i had him and that never would have happened had I not gotten pregnant.
