I never imagined I could make such a mess of my life, but I really have and I see no way out. My depression has immobilized me. I recently went through a divorce after escaping an abusive marriage, and entered into a relationship with a very sweet and loving guy. I have children already and now I've found out I'm pregnant. My guy wants us to get married but I was actually planning to break up with him before this happened. I'm not in love with him anymore and I told him so, but he says he can't live without me. I want a new life for myself, but instead I'm stuck in a relationship with this man and a new child to take care of. I have a long history of depression and now it's so bad I can hardly move and spend most of my time secluded in my house, which isn't hard to do since I lost my job on top of everything. I really feel my life is over and I'm paralyzed by my depression. Please help.

Ok, how far along pregnant are you? Also, just because you got pregnant by this guy doesn't mean you should stay with him. In fact, from personal experience I know this is the worst reason on earth to stay with someone. You will regret it. \

Your life isn't over, but you are in a hard situation. PM me if you'd like to talk about this in a more private place.

Are you seeing a therapist?

This boyfriend of yours sounds like he is more concerned with his own selfish wants than he is with your very real needs. I would be very wary of everything he says.

Do you have someone close to fall back on? If your depression is making an appearance, you probably don't feel like taking any actions right now. A close friend can be there to help you make decisions.
Do you have a therapist? If not, don't be afraid to find an emergency room. The main thing is to get help and don't get isolated.
Thanks for this!
