> Hello, I have not been on a for a long time. But, of course, things stop being good. But, right now I have really gotten things screwed up.
> I lost my job the end of march, went into major depressive episode, couldnt get out of bed for weeks, stopped taking my meds (some of them) basically just wanted to die. (still working on getting out of this depression hold) but, the really bad thing is that I think/know I am pregnant. I had suspected this right around the time I lost my job. Well, knowing that all my meds can cause poss. birth defects, I planned to get an abortion. Well, with me not working, my husband has been struggling to make ends meet (which is very very hard for us with 1 income) we have not had the money for an abortion, so the weeks have been going by and i am still preg. and know dont even know how far i am or if abortion is still a possibility.
> I feel like life couldnt get worse. well, it almost did, my dad almost died last week. but thank God he didnt. I dont know what to do.
> SHi S...
I am really sorry...I kinda understand your situation from the male side, as I have been in a similar situation. It was likely the event that threw me into my major 10 year depressive episode. But...some quick pointers. If you somehow can do, get to a doctor (even at some free walk-in clinic) and just blurt it all out and let them know. They can tell you exactly what your choices are, help you with your medications, and give you and your hubby some direction, because I realize you likely feel very, very lost and lonely. My gawwd...I remember, even as a guy, feeling so horrible about myself. And you shouldn't...don't have to. (And I admit, I am as strong a Pro-Choice person as can get..) So, just get yourself in front of a doctor, asap, and I think you will feel a bit better.
Take care,
Jay
