The only protection and chance at giving your kids normalcy and unconditional love is YOU. That is powerful enough. Don’t take more away and be like him.
I think talking to your obgyn or a doctor you trust to get a referral for mental health management. Whether that’s a therapist, psychiatrist or both I think seeking the help of a professional is wise. Know that you are NOT alone in your situation or feelings and there’s many resources for depression, specifically for pregnant women. Feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to/talk you down. I’ve always struggled with depression and got diagnosed with bipolar so I can be empathetic to your story, it’s scary to feel and think those things and not be able to control it. You are not your thoughts, brains do crazy things just on their own. I think making this post shows you have the strength to get through this, with help!
Well you better stick around for their sake espically if your scared of your ex harming them Pregnancy with stress cause a lot of chaotic thoughts and feelings and postpartum is no joke if your already feeling like this You might have PPD and there are shots for that I went through this a lot and it’s getting more and more challenging now that my partner is basically never home now due to work and my 4m old and 2 year old are growing by the 2nd and it’s a lot on one person with no social life or support I always gotta stop myself mid yelling at them that I’m going through something and they don’t need that Literally the only thing that stops me from harming myself is the fact that I gotta take my kids to various doctors and I don’t wanna find out what happens if they notice
