I haven't been here in a while. I haven't had this feeling in a while either. I haven't hurt myself in almost 3 years, but now I'm having the strongest urge to. I know I can't because my son is here with me, but no one is understanding me and I feel like I have no one to talk to. My husband just came home from prison 2 months ago. He was gone for 4 years. I'm now 11 months pregnant, anemic, depressed and haven't had much energy. My husband doesn't understand at all. He thinks I'm lazy. He's really negative about almost everything. He was making feel suicidal and hopeless before because of the way he would stress out and think negative about everything. My husband is not listening to me and what I did in the past when people wouldn't listen or understand is SI. I don't have a doc appt until March 1st, so I don't know what to do right now. I'm having an emotional breakdown and don't know how to get this urge to go away or how to get my husband to understand how I'm feeling. My closest friend that lives in town doesn't even understand. She thinks my husband has more right feeling how he does (that I'm lazy and not helping or trying to do work related things). I can't even think about things like that right now.

that sounds really stressful for you. Have you thought about getting a therapist or counsellor to talk to? That can be really useful in having someone to talk to. If you can't find one in person for whatever reason, there is also online counselling or via telephone too. I think anyone who is pregnant would feel lethargic, but I don't know much about pregnancy. (Also, I'm guessing that "11 months" is a typo) Do you think that your marital problems might be something your husband would be willing to discuss in therapy? There is couples counselling out there. I'm glad you've made it 3+ years SI free! That is awesome. What can you do to help yourself get through this stressful time right now?

Yes I meant 11 weeks. I'm 13 weeks now. I've been trying for awhile just to get into see the doctor. There are therapists at the clinic I'm going to be going to for my pregnancy. I used to see one there for over a year, so my OB will probably refer me to see one at my appt next week. I knew I needed to talk to someone almost 2 months ago so I tried to make an appt as soon as possible.
I don't know if my husband is willing at all to talk to a therapist about our problems, he won't even talk to me about them. Everytime I try, he just says he's right and I'm wrong. He won't listen. I don't know if he even wants to try to work things out. He keeps talking about leaving me once the baby is born and taking him/her with him.

You can still go to therapy without him.
