I'm losing ground fast

hi,

I have been battling depression and panic attacks for years. SInce I am 6 months pregnant, the Dr. won't let me take my medication. I am trying so hard to hold it together, but it's so hard. There is SO much going on in my life right now. I now that I am spreading myself too thin (which is what I do best) but there is really nothing I can do about that right now. Things aren't going to settle down a bit until after Christmas for me, but I am barely holding on by a thread most days. I have 3 boys, ages 9, 6.5, and 4 and am 6 months pregnant with a baby girl (what keeps me going most days). But I am also finishing up my Master's in the next two months (CRAZY-TIME). My husband and I own a small business with a partner aside from his full-time job and my part-time student, full-time SAHM status. I'm at the point where I don't care about anything anymore and I barely even think about the baby, because I am already feeling so overwhelmed. Oh, and my DH is not really receptive to my "problems" so he's not an option to talk to.

I am sorry to unload. But, I have no where else to turn.

((((Camille))) Welcome to the board! Vent all you want. There are no shortage of people who have not-so-understanding partners and who can relate to you!

You have so much on your plate, with all your kids and school. You are doing the best that you can. Vent here all you want. You are trying. That is all you can ask of yourself.

I am sure that if you read a bit here and post some, you will see that you are normal. Everyone here can relate to you in some way.

Welcome again!

Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.
Take care,
Lisa-)
