Has anyone suffered from Prenatal Depression?

How can a time that should be so exciting make me feel so horrible? I have been suffering from morning sickness for 6 weeks. I have had to quit my job as a massage therapist. I wake up in the middle of the night feeling horrible and it lasts till i go to sleep… Today at the Dr. I even found out the small lump in my breast is not nothing, but because I’m pregnant they can’t do much. I am filled with guilt because the only thing that allows me to eat and even get out of bed is very small hits of pot. I don’t need anyone telling what a horrible person i am for exposing my baby to drugs. I just need to know someone else out there feels like this. We wanted to be pregnant so bad but now I am so sad all the time.

He is 21 months old. I am on medication for depression,but after his birth it got worse. I am fine now.
I also have developed fibromyalgia after his birth. Pain in soft tisseus and muscles.
