New-ish

Hi. I’m Melissa. I’ve been using 7 cups off and on for about 4 years, but I’ve never actually participated in a group before. I’ve always struggled with depression, and after some really bad years, and trying different medications that never worked, I finally found myself in a pretty good place, and was doing a lot better. My husband and I recently got pregnant (12 weeks today,) and for the last couple weeks my depression has gotten a lot worse, and I’m basically back at where I started years ago. We had a couple miscarriages before this one, so when I got pregnant, I was super excited, and all of a sudden I couldn’t care less. I have no desire to be pregnant or have a baby, and I don’t feel like I’m bonding with it or anything, and it’s just really hard because I remember being so excited and grateful, and now I’m just not. And I know it’s just the depression, and that it won’t always be like this, but those thoughts being me no comfort, and I just don’t know what to do anymore.

Hi Melissa 💜. I'm Morgan. I'm a mom of 5 and I also suffered a miscarriage two years ago.

It sounds like you are going through a lot of emotions and I'm sure the pregnancy hormones aren't helping anything. It must be so scary to be pregnant after your miscarriages. Do you think your lack of attachment might just be you trying to protect yourself in case of another loss?

Hugs💜
