Hi everyone...

[Astrid]

I'm Astrid.. I'm 29, almost 7 months pregnant and confused and overwhelmed. I have a history of depression [and anxiety and panic attacks]. Needless to say I am struggling with all three now. No surprise though. But that is only part of the problem. I am in a situation that can [will] only cause me more anxiety and depression and I have to admit that I am scared because I know it's going to be really hard and I don't know if I am going to be able to get through it. That is why I am here. I need some help, some support and/or advice. Let me know if I'm in the right place and I will tell you my story [ as succinctly as I can]. Thanks.

Welcome to Psychlinks, Astrid.

Is the father of your baby still in your life? Do you have any other support? Family? Friends?

Welcome Astrid. You mentioned a history of depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. Have you had treatments for these in the past?

Welcome Astrid

I guess I'd have the same questions that Yuray is asking.

Wishing you the best and hope you get some advice and support for what you are dealing with - I have the same things as you so know how difficult it is.
