Show your support
Yes girl I feel like I’m in hell 24/7. Some days I feel like I could tackle or manage anything and other days I want to crawl into a ball and cry until I can’t anymore. You’re not alone!!
@Robyn I feel completely exactly same way, this week has been the worst for my moods, I'm always stressing and always crying also feeling very anxious about situations, If need chat message me I'm here to listen girl your not alone too hugs 🥰
This perfectly normal, you’ve done brilliantly for having the courage to admit to it so well done you 🫶🏻 Definitely speak to a medical professional, either the GP or midwife. They can signpost you to further support that’ll make you feel better. Meanwhile, try to get out in the fresh air as often as you can, don’t keep anything bottled up & keep talking about how you feel. You got this 😌
@Paulina Luckily I'm seeing a counsellor next week to help how I feel, Aw hope your ok x
@Tiggy’s Mummy Thankyou I need the couragement at the moment 😊 I'm out everyday due to working just hard at times ya know and I'm starting counselling soon luckily to help me.
Being pregnant is tough! I’m really feeling the impact on my mental health this time round, not helped by lack of sleep! Took today off work because have been feeling so exhausted and down/useless. Yet to speak to my GP/midwife
I was fine until I hit 23 weeks now I’m awful!
Contact your midwife and they can refer you to the local perinatal mental health team who can help you or refer you to someone who can. I did it in my first pregnancy and got the help I needed. Would really recommend
Speak to the Dr and ask your midwife about a specialist mental health midwife. I did and was referred for counselling. As a pregnant woman my NHS trust prioritised me. Would have been months to speak to someone otherwise
@Beth I have months ago told my midwife she referred me to perinatal team they just referred me to turning point to see counseling which I'm seeing next week for the first time and hopefully it helps, Thankyou for advice 😀
@Shannon Aww hope ok, I'm 23 weeks next week my emotions are everywhere.
@Alice I really hope you get the help you need love
I’ve been experiencing depression recently. It’s good to hear people’s experiences of being referred to someone. I’m going to do the same now and speak to my midwife
@Tara Best thing to do x
Pregnancy is hard! Please do talk to your midwife or GP about it, they can help you or signpost you to someone who can! Sending you a virtual hug! X
