Being near the 40week mark is tough, as it is. So sorry that you're struggling to cope with everything. 'Getting over it', just isn't that easy. It's frightful for some the thought of medication while pregnant and/or breastfeeding (if that's also a choice of yours), then to feel lack of support from your only friend, at the moment--there's room to grow and learn to gain friends and allies and build a supportive circle.
Learning more effective communication skills can also go a long way with or without meds. I'm reading feelings of feeling minimized, etc. What happened with your family support? If you don't mind my asking. That could factor into feeling isolated and exacerbate your sense of value/self worth. It is important to feel in a safe place as your child enters this world. It really is about having some kindness in your homelife, leaving you feeling safe. You'll be able to learn as you grow in therapy. Research about medication, and know your facts and limitations to feel more resolved about such a decision.
