pregnant with thoughts of suicide.?

Question

my situation...
(I'm 8 months pregnant and my husband and i recently seperated (his choice) we still talk many times a day and spend a lot of time together and i understand why he left (becuase of his father needing help and him needing space) but i am having a very tuff time coping with the situation. i feel abandoned and hopeless. i want to work things out it but he's not sure whay he wants.)


So lately i have had such bad depression that i have had acctuall thought, JUST THOUGHTS, of suicide. I DO NOT plan to act on my thoughts but i wanted to know if there was anyone out there who has had or has same the problem?
is this normal?
how do you get over it?

Answer 1

I had suicidal thoughts with my first pregnancy due to problems with my boyfriend. The only thing that stopped me was the baby. I couldnt kill myself cause it wouldve been killing the baby. I suggest going and seeing your Doctor and explaining how you feel, I always talked to my dr and that helped heaps. They might refer you to a pysch. ( I saw one after I had my baby and she kept me sane) or try talking to friends or family that arent going to judge you. But for now as hard as dealing with the seperation is, you need to put it all aside and focus on the baby. Thats how I dealt with it. Everythings not hopeless you are going to have a gorgeous little bubba so soon, look forward to it. Good Luck, look after yourself and please see your Dr and explain whats going on.

Answer 2

With all those pregnancy hormones churning around, it's not surprising you feel the way you do. I felt much the same way when my ex was cheating on me and stringing me along that I could win him back. I didn't have any friends or anyone I could talk to, so it was a particularly difficult time for me.

The way to get over it is to get support from your friends and family. When I made some friends, things got so much better for me. They were understanding and supportive of the situation. If this doesn't help, it would be a good idea to talk to a doctor or psychologist to help you sort through these feelings.

Good luck and *hugs*. It will get better in time.
