Anxiety and possible depression. 30 weeks pregnant.?
So, here is my problem.. I’m always very anxious. And worried. And I always feel “sad”. Always. Its like it never goes away. I always feel like crying. Even when I’m out with friends and trying to take my mind off of everything. I just can’t get properly happy about everything. I love that I have my 2 year old son, I love my husband and being with him, and I love that we’re having baby boy #2.. And I’m happy about all of that.. But I don’t think I’m actually happy like I should be. I’m not saying that I don’t want my life anymore or anything like that. I don’t really know how to explain it.. I’m happy but at the same time I’m not. All I want to do is just sit.. and be alone.. and cry..
But I’m not sure if its me, like if its real. Or if its just because my husband is in Iraq, so I’m just constantly worried about him. He has been gone since September but I really don’t remember feeling like this the whole time he has been gone.. And its been over 4 months already.
So, I really just can’t figure out if I’m just super worried about my husband and worried about this deployment. And everything that this stupid deployment comes with. He wont be home for good until September of this year.
Or if maybe I am depressed. And I hate using that word and I hate thinking about it. Because aren’t depressed people supposed to be sad and unhappy with everything in their lives? I’m not sad and unhappy with everything in my life.. I love my life, I really do.
I’m just… sad. I have a prenatal appointment on the 11, so I’ll definitely be mentioning it then.. And I know I should have mentioned it at my last appointment. I just.. I don’t remember ever feeling so sad before. It feels like everything has just hit me the last few weeks. I just don’t know if its me.. Or if its more serious… does that make sense?
Any (nice) opinions would be great.. If you think its me.. or if you actually think, maybe, I really am ‘depressed’..

News Flash…
You are Human. Your just fine. Your normal. I was bedridden for 7 months and had to shut down my business at this time. I thought I was going crazy!I could not do anything but stay in the bed. Believe me, it is a faze your going through it will pass. Do something to make your self feel beautiful! spoil yourself! You deserve it!
Be sure to sit down and make a list of experience that you want your baby to see or do in the next 10 years.
When that little one comes along all the worry will be long from your mind! You will have wished you had taken the time for yourself.Babies are Gods little angels that take all the worries away ..Hee-Hee!
Good Luck…
i’ve been ‘sad’ throughout my whole pregnancy. i get scared, and cry alot. yeah it feels like your unhappy, but you know its not your husband or either your son you hvae now or the one on the way. i hear emotions are a new ride when it comes to being pregnant. but mine have gone completely crazy. i cry to much, and my boyfriend constantly reminds me i’m doing nothing wrong and everything is okay but i always find it hard to believe him.
honestly ask your doctor, thats what i want to do
One in ten women experiences depression while pregnant. Just as hormones can wreak emotional mayhem during your period, they can do so during your pregnancy. Mild depression will often go away with a reward or two…
We have a doctor that explains about these feelings and suggestion what to do:
