Hello camarogirl,
this is an awful situation to be in, and
with an uncaring boyfriend around it
certainly would be in the best interest of
you and your baby to leave him.
I know that this will be very traumatic
for you and I hope that you have some
support somewhere. What about your own
parents?
Your depression may be both internal and
external. You are obviously under immense
pressure, but since you got some
depressive feelings when you were
pregnant, there may be biological element
involved too.
When you are pregnant you will undergo
tremendous hormonal changes, and at such
time you should have the social support of
the father of the child. He is obviously
too immature to give that support.
As to internal causes of depression it
would be worthwhile to go on a
hypoglycemic diet. This diet will help
your body to build the right hormones and
neurotransmitters for your to cope with
continual stress situations.
Please look up:
“the hypoglycemic diet” at our web
site.
However, behind this is also the question
of your low self-esteem. Why is it that
you got yourself emotionally involved with
an immature man who obviously has his own
problems?
The reason seems to be that you suffer
from a negative self-image and people with
a low self-esteem are likely to choose the
wrong partners.
If you agree that you have a low
self-esteem, be assured that this can be
overcome fairly quickly if you are
prepared to study our self-help
psychotherapy course at our web site, that
is completely free of charge.
This course looks at communication
systems, how people communicate with one
another and how we communicate with
ourselves, how we acquire a self-image and
if this is negative how it affects all
other departments of our life. You can
get rid of a negative self-image through a
series of mental exercises - retraining
the mind as a it were - as explained at
the web site.
You can do this course also with the help
of a counsellor and in about eight weeks
time you start to feel different about
yourself and your boyfriend.
Once you have completed this course I can
guarantee you that you will never allow
yourself to be emotionally caught up with
a dysfunctional man again. In fact your
sense of self-worth will ensure that you
never undersell yourself. It will enable
you to find a man whose worth would match
yours.
I hope you enjoy the course.
