Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am suffering from total depression and anxiety. I am 28 years old and married. Also six months pregnant. I have always felt that I and my partner are not compatible, I do not connect with him. Ours is a love marriage, but I never felt the love and care one should feel in such a relationship. He is not a romantic person. He does not understand me and my feelings. And he is never there when I need him. His behavior has been giving me anxiety and I am always depressed. Also, we are in a beautiful phase of our life but I do not see him cherishing any moments with me. I feel too bad for myself and our baby on the way. I am in desperate need of help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

See at this time where you have to think for only yourself and to care for your pregnancy, at this time cannot do much rather than taking maximum care and getting yourself busy in daily work and go out to find some little things for your upcoming baby and have good sleep and a good diet and plenty of water. As far as your relationship is concerned, you both need marital counseling to resolve conflicts advising at one side would not be beneficial, and most importantly, start admiring him for everything, for his dressing, his smile and, whatever he is doing for you, and appreciate him for being husband and reduce your expectation at this point of time and it may work in a way that he may be there for you, which you are expecting.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
