I'm depressed, I don't know what to do and I need help.
I'm 23 years old, I'm pregnant with my first child. I have my own apartment and I'm in a committed relationship but here is the problem...
I'm on social security and I'm not working at this time, My boyfriend who is 24 is also unemployed. I recieve food stamps to support myself and help me make it through. I have a learning disability and I'm hard of hearing. I'm scared and I don't know how I will support my child. I do not believe in abortions so don't even suggest that, I do not want to give my child up because well...Apart of me is scared to death but the other part of me is lucky to be pregnant and know that I was able to even exsperience getting pregnant and I don't want to give my child up I want to raise it into a good loving home and I want to see my little one grow up. I don't know what to do...I live in a one bedroom apartment.
Please do not judge me, Say anything mean, I'm here to get help
I'm sorry that you have to deal with this, but the number one thing to remember right now is to try not to stress yourself out too much, for your sake & your child's sake. Have you talked to your boyfriend about finding a job? Also, there are government programs to help. Some people are too embarrassed to get this help (such as welfare and wic), but there's nothing wrong with getting help if you need it. Good luck. Sweetie, don't listen to Matt, either.
And Matt, what a terrible thing to say! A lot of disabilities have nothing to do with raising a child.
