SUBJECT: 35wks, 17yrs old, and depression getting worse
hello~
I'm soon to be young mother. 17 yrs old to be exact. Everyone has expected me to ruin my life. When in actuality It's helped me. I graduated early, I'm on my own (not depending on my parents) And I luckily found a man who is more than willing to be there. But I've had a problem with depression since I was 10. It comes and goes, and when it hits, I rather isolate myself then do anything. My fiance trys to be there, but he has no way of understanding.
He has his own mental issues. And I feel like my depression is my problem. No one can really help and I can't stop it. It scares me because i've heard that post-pardom just makes it worse. I don't want to blame it on my fiance. But he can't understand, and no matter how hard i try to explain it, it never gets better.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I have no one there for me.
