Your situation is horrible. I'm so sorry! No wonder you want to just stay in bed! Does your husband know you're pregnant?
I understand the depression, and yours is complicated by the job situation. Any chance you'd continue the pregnancy, and do an adoption through a private lawyer - so all of your expenses could be taken care of as you go along through the pregnancy. If you go through a good adoption atty, the couple pays for the lawyer, maternity clothes, health care....and whatever else you work out - maybe help with nutritious food - maybe your mental healthcare and meds.
My dad died 4 mos. before our youngest was born, my mom died 4 mos. after - thankfully she got to see him and hold him. I had postpartum depression - it lingered on for a long time - I didn't know to get help. I hope you do, this can leave you feeling very desperate. What does your pdoc say about being off the meds?
