Hi I'm Erica

[nowhere]

Hi. My name is Erica, I am 36--I am a wife and mom to one, with another baby on the way due in November. I used to suffer from clinical depression but over came it over the past ten years. Then in May my Dad who was also my best friend died unexpectedly. To be pregnant and have all these hormones just magnifies everything and is bringing me back to being 19 and depressed again. I also lost my job of 11 years because of having a baby (I know that is illegal but that is another story). Another thing adding to my depression is that my husband is not emotionally supportive to me in the least. He's not as bad as I am making it sound--we still love each other but he cannot comprehend what I am going through and instead gives me the silent treatment and gets mad at me and tells me to "stop playing games". I believe he is also not happy about our second child who is coming in 3 months---You cannot get through to him though, he's a brick wall. Anyway I am just feeling alone and overwhelmed and I miss my Dad who could have helped me through all this.

Could your emotions be playing hay-day due to the pregnancy as well? That happens. Good to hear there is love alive with you and your husband, this is good.
