I Had My Son April 2017 And Since Then Have
Question: I had my son April 2017 and since then have cried at almost anything, anything my husband says to me, even sometimes tv adverts. my husband and I relationship is strained at the moment as I recently found out I'm pregnant (12 weeks today, monday) we are away and he has gone to hospital with migraine and vomiting. when he said he didn't want me to go I burst into tears and tries to explain to him he is my husband and I care/love him and want to go with him. I feel worthless and useless most of the time like even breathing is wrong. I can never seem to do anything right. I get so angry sometimes I bite myself on my forearm. iv never told anyone any of that as I am scared I will be seen as an unfit parent and have my kids taken off me. please help me understand why I feel like this, I cant take it much longer.
