Don't know where to turn

I know something is wrong with me. I feel angry and sad a lot. I get depressed. I'm pregnant and married. Sometimes when I can't deal with all my emotions or when I get really upset I scratch my arms with my fingernails. I got marks on them from yesterday. My husband just gets mad at me when I do that to my arms. I don't feel like he understands me and I don't know where to turn because I feel so alone and I don't have anyone else but him and my mom. And neither of them understand or really talk to me about anything. I haven't had a good past and that might have something to do with it. But why doesnt' anyone care enough about me to try and understand what I'm going through instead of getting mad and telling me to stop doing it. I'm sick of having to feel like i have to hide what I feel just so it won't bother someone else. I don't want to have to pretend things are okay when they are not.

Hi damaged,

I am sorry to hear that you're feeling down so bad. I understand that you're going through a very difficult time right now. We could try to help you here if you want to, but then I would appreciate to hear some backgrounds on what exactly happened to you.

It could be your hormones, too. I believe I heard somewhere before that if a woman go through her first pregnancy, they get upset and confused a lot for some reason that has to do with hormons, especially in their early stages. Are you feeling scared? Do you have panic attacks?

I also advice you that you seek for professional help. When the baby is being born, you will have to concentrate on the baby. It's a BIG responsibility to have a child and raise it. The child will benefit most from your parenting skills when you cleared out your mind and feel relaxed over things. Professional help might be helpful for you.

I hope that I made the right suggestions for you and I wish you strength the coming period.
