My fight or flight reflect is so strong I battle it all the time, when I´m at home I´m usually to be found screaming at the top of my lungs and kicking off or running away to hide and cry alone in the car. My family love me they just don´t love or understand my depression. I´m trying to accept that it isn´t their fault that I want to run away from them sometimes but it must hurt them. I´m seeing a therapist to help me and to help me be honest with my husband about seeing a therapist, I haven´t told him yet so maybe I´m not the best person to be giving advice about marriage, just telling my story.

Can you talk to your partner and explain the feeling? It could me anxiety over the commitment and he might be feeling something similar. It´s a big step and being a wife and mother are two amazing achievements that society doesn´t recognise as much as it should and is a million times harder than any other journey or adventure you could dream of!
