Is anyone battling depression?

I'm 10 weeks,with my second. And I feel so overwhelmed like I can't handle it. I'm angry all the time and snap at people when I don't mean it. I've never felt like this, like I can't be happy. My daughters the only one that makes me smile.. I keep so much bottled up, and no one to talk to. .. sorry if this is boring lol just trying to let it out!

    Let it out. I've been dealing with depression since I was 15, I'm now 21 after having my daughter it came back and smacked me. And as cliched as it sounds, talking is the only thing that made me feel better. That, and admitting that I had depression.

    @mommatobe ... I think we can all say we've been there and some of us are still there.

    You're sleep deprived, overwhelmed with being a super hero mom.... But you need to step back, but everything down and attend to yourself.

    If you're not in tip top shape to save the world youre not going to do your best.

    Be good to your self and allow for some down time.

    Let the house go for a day or two...

    Take care if yourself

    @natashalynn thank you :) my hubby works a lot and I just don't talk about it with him. Tried talking with my mother and she said it was baby blues and mentioned to my obgyn which ticked me off! I think it mostly stems from having an almost 6 month old and being pregnant again (was on birth control) it's still such a shock. And we've known since I was 3weeks.. I feel like I won't be able to do it. I feel so ugly. I was starting to lose weight, then bam! Pregnant again. I feel like everyone thinks I'm awful for getting pregnant so quick, when was tried to prevent it. And I have problems with my MIL she's crazy! Lol

    @YNVTish Thank you for your advice.. I take pride in doing every single thing myself with my daughter. I don't ask for help, I rely on myself. I have honestly only had one 1hr nap -by myself without my daughter- since she was born in August. I really need some rest !

    Being a mum isnt easy, being a pregnant mum is even harder. Your body wouldnt have even had a chance to get back to normal hormone wise after your first pregnancy so adding the crazy hormones of another is going to be stressful. There is nothing wrong with admitting you may be having some struggles, its completely normal and the best way to get past it is to let it out and get some you time. Try to make some time for yourself even if its just 30mins for a relaxing bath 2-3 times a week

    @tinka1326 Thank you :) Im going to have to try that! This is the most me time I get when my Khloe is asleep lol.. I definitely need to just release some of the pressure I've been holding in! I'm so glad I decided to post, I feel somewhat relieved. Thank you my pregly friends!!!

    Your more than welcome!!! Sometimes simply being told your feelings are okay and normal is enough to feel better about yourself

    Remember you're stronger than you believe. As for people judging you for being pregnant again, well honestly, the people who wanna judge you will find any excuse. May as well be over something that, although may be hard, is a blessing. Find people to talk to. Whether it be a counselor a friend or a pregly, you gotta take care of yourself before you'll be able to take care of the baby!!! Hugs to you!

    Aww, stay strong, you're doing great! I'm sure your daughter adores you and congrats on the pregnancy! (i know it'll be hard, but we're never given anything we cant handle). As far as talking to somebody, where do you live? We could see if a pregly is close by, talking is the only thing that helps, if you dont feel comfortable talking, start a journal, you need to get your feelings and emotions out and eventually talk with your husband about it
