Q: feeling so alone and hopeless

I am 8 weeks pregnant. This is my second pregnancy, but I miscarried at 9 weeks back in March. I am feeling so horrible. I haven't left my house in over a week. I'm avoiding my friends and family. I lay in bed all day and cry. I can't even take a shower. I've been off of work for the summer and I'm scared to start up again next week. Don't know if I'll be able to do it. My husband tries to be supportive, but he gets frustrated and doesn't understand why I feel this way. Honestly, I don't either. I want to be happy and excited, but I feel like I'm being crushed by this depression and anxiety. I feel like there's no end in sight. I have had episodes of depression in the past, but this might be the worse. I am worried about my baby being able to thrive when I am feeling so low. I feel so alone. It would be nice to know that there are others who have had or are having a similar experience.

yeah me too. i was depressed for a few years.
i tried killing myself a few times. my hole life all the people i came to know as parents and family fought around me like immature unresponsible haters. and to make things worse my first boyfriend forced me into loosing my virginity and wanted to marry me and be with me forever. i was so scared of him. until i met this guy, he turned my life around and i left my first boyfriend which made alot of my depression go away.
6 months passed and i found out i was pregnant, then i started to go depressed again. but then yesterday i started bleeding heavily so i presume thats a misscarridge.
now im even more depressed. i dont even no what i want. im so confused.

Hi there,
Your not alone though I understand how you feel, and am so sorry for your loss, I have many of the same feelings, I have 5 baby angels (James born at 28 weeks in 97, Emma born at 25 weeks in 04, 2 misscarriges in 07 and Elise born at 28 weeks in 0Cool. Something that I found helps with my losses is doing special things to remember them. I've suffered depression for many years but have help from both mental health services and medication which I cant take while pregnant. ( I have to beautiful children alive a 7 yo son and a 23 month old daughter sadly with spina bifida. I know its not my place but I believe you should try get some help, sooner is better than later, it doesnt cure everything but help all the same. I wish you all the best with this baby, and dont worry to much about stressing your baby, my kids are very over happy and I suffered very bad depression with both. All the best hope to hear all is getting better in your next post. Am here like many others if you need to talk.
