Hi all
I am currently 13 wks, 5 days, and for the past few days have been caught in a spiral of depression and panic attacks. I am so scared that I have made a terrible mistake and at the moment am thinking suck bleak thoughts. I have a history of depression and have been on medication for many years but came off when we decided to start trying. There have been some ups and downs since, but nothing like the past few days. I can't sleep because every time I close my eyes I can't stop thinking about things, and although my husband is being v supportive in some ways he is one of the things I want to just run away from. I'm scared of all sorts of things about the baby - not loving it, not being able to look after it properly, not being a good mother - but at the moment I just don't even feel like I will get to that point. I don't know what I should do or who to talk to. I just know that I can't continue like this. Any words of wisdom would be so greatly appreciated.
