The doctors know I am depressed but wont help me because I am pregnant. The therapists they provided me with wont return my calls to establish service. I am so lost and not myself. I need help. I am trying to get help. Noone will help. I am afraid I am going to kill myself or hurt someone. I don't know what to do. Why wont they help? I hate who I have become. My boyfriend says to bad I am pregrant I can't take meds. My family says to think my way through this. I am an intellectual and spiritual person and the healthy me knows better. Everyone will wish they had helped when it is to late. I am thinking about going to the emergency room and making them help me or I am thinking about an abortion but in my heart and mind abortion is murder. I use to raise money for National Right To Life for goodness sake. I am lost and need help and don't know what to do. I wish my mom were still here. She would help.

You sound so very scared at this time...and when we feel this way its hard to access the resources we need, especially when it feels like no one can or will help. Here is a number to call if you are feeling suicidal at any time:
Suicide Hotline
1-800-784-2433
This will help you manage when you feel u are in crisis. ANother thing can do- you dont' have to wait for this therapist referral, you can contact agencies in you are (low cost if you need as well). Google your zip code and "counseling agency" and see what comes up. Start calling and ask when you can be seen ASAP.
I also like the idea of having a plan in place- can u come up with a list of people you can call when you need support? Try doing that, having support right now is important. Your friends or family may not know what to do, but just ask them if they can listen, give you a hug or simply comfort you in the moment.
ITs very possible that your hormones are surging and causing a chemical imbalance that is making you feel depressed- this is NOT your fault. I am very glad you posted here- that is quite resourceful of you! Please feel free to msg me on this site if you need to, I will reply as soon as I can.

Warmly,

I was depressed when I was pregnant too. My dr wouldn't give me any medication due to me being pregnant but she talked to me and gave me some good advice. Your pregnant and your fixin to bring a wonderful blessing into this world. Try starting a hobby or working on the babys room to get your mind off things. Your pregnancy hormones are really getting to you. Take deep breathes and think about all the positive stuff. I hope everything goes well and I'm always here for you. God bless
