Yeah sure it's great having kids and I love mine dearly.
But until you can look after yourself a baby is a big NO NO

Having a mental illness and trying to raise a child is HARDWORK

Them nights when you don't get sleep now because of over thinking...
Imagine them nights with a screaming baby?

Them mornings when you struggle to get dressed or even get out of bed.... You have to with a baby.

Being a parent is hard work....

I think what you need to do... Is firstly take the morning after pill.
Take care of yourself, make sure your mental health is stable.
Read up on being a parent. And speak to others that our parents.
You can be an amazing mum one day.
But having a baby to give you a reason to live or fix any of your problems is not the way.

Love from a tired, stressed mum
