Feel like no one really cares

Answered 4 years ago

Im heavily pregnant and have two boys with another boy on the way. This is my last. I have 4 brothers and my mum favours the boys over me. I wished i had a daughter. Someone to talk to.
I have friends that only use me or dont care about me
My husband is selfish and only cares for himself
I feel so alone and sad
My boys and work keeps me busy but im struggling with my pregnancy and feel like no one cares or does anything for me.
Just want someone to make me one meal or do the washing or make a meal for the kids .. i work full time and just hate my life, dont get me wrong we are def not living in poverty.we have a nice house, nice cars etc but i just feel alone
Not sure if its just preg hormones or if im over it

There is not much to add to these solid responses, but I think you need to tell someone. Send someone a message like “I need help, I’m really overwhelmed and I feel like I need to tell someone. I just need some time off, can you please help by cooking dinner for me..I feel so embarrassed asking but I need someone to care”. Or something similar... think you will have someone’s name pop into your head.

You are the only person who can get people like that in your life, don't expect the ones in it will change -they won't simply because its not a priority for them. Humans will act if they care enough about something. You are holding yourself back by allowing yourself to be treated like that.

You've got a lot on your plate! Have you considered the possibility of prenatal depression? Sometimes exhaustion and hormones combine to make us pretty low! Maybe reach out to your GP, midwife or at least access some of the online support materials from Beyond Blue?
There's no harm in telling your nearest and dearest how you are feeling either. Just tell them you're feeling low and need some extra TLC - I'm sure some of them will rally!

I feel your pain - my husband and I are expecting a baby in a couple of weeks and he has really struggled to get on board (we have a much older child and thought we were never getting a second). I actually asked him today if he thought our marriage would survive this baby, that's how much he has disengaged! He has committed to trying to take an interest - I'm just hoping the baby will win him over!

Good luck with it - and give yourself a break, we don't have to pretend it's always sunshine and rainbows.

♥ oh girlie I feel you ♥ it might be the hormones AS WELL as everything else going on in your life. I'm 38 weeks now but between 30 and here I was so angry at everyone in my house and felt like no one cared and everyone just was using me.
I wish I could say something to make you feel better ♥ ♥ hopefully you feel okay soon, or someone gets off their ass and makes you a dinner ♥
