AUTHOR: Stefania
I am 28 and this is my second pregnancy. I've experienced miscarriage last year and was of course devastated. I broke up with the baby's daddy last August and then, because of personal problems, got pregnant by him 3 months later. I've no friends, and I only make $500/month and I can hardly support myself. My dad helps me with rent. I am on WIC and foodstamps, and my job does not tolerate pregnant women because the company says that it's by choice that a woman becomes pregnant. I don't have plans to marry the baby's daddy, even though we've been engaged like 3 years ago. My parents and I love him but he is not husband-material. ON top of this, I have a biology degree but cannot find a job and I'm running out places to look. I need a new apartment to accomodate my baby but don't have any money. I too suffer from an anxiety disorder, and depression, which I've had all my life. I cant "Pop a Pill" either, since I'm pregnant. I was on Effexor XR and BuSpar before I got pregnant. Now, I cry every night because there is no one to talk to and the father is always busy with work and I really need someone to talk to because no one at work understands (they are all like 19 years old) and I don't know how to cope, either.
