So I haven't told anyone yet because I'm honestly afraid of what people will say and I just don't want to deal with it but, I've been diagnosed with antepartum depression and I'm awaiting my referral to a therapist. I never thought that me of all people would need therapy for depression while I was pregnant. I'm not in anyway depressed about having the baby. I'm not depressed about being pregnant either. The Dr said she is nearly positive it has something to do with my relationship with the baby's father(my ex) and with the stress of moving and with all the other "complications" (for lack of a better word) medical wise, that have been thrown at me during this pregnancy. I'm not posting this so I can get attention or sympathy. I'm posting this because I haven't even had the courage to call my mom and tell her yet. I'm posting this because I needed to get it out of my own head and out into the world in some way so that I could learn to better cope with it. I'm posting this because I'm tired of caring this weight by myself and at least if I post it here, others will have the chance to see it even if they don't care. I'm posting this because I'm tired of pretending to be okay and I'm tired of pretending to be strong.
