I'm not doing the best in my life
The story
I am from Philippines and I struggle with depression. I'm currently pregnant now, I'm 23 years old. I have finished my studies, I have now a profession, and a regular job. But my parents are disappointed in me by being pregnant because my boyfriend didn't finished his studies yet, he is a graduating student now. I feel depressed. Even I put up with my parents need of money they always see me as if I have committed the greatest sin on them. I don't want to abort this baby, also here in Philippines abortion is illegal. I can't really sleep because it bothers me a lot, I'm 6months pregnant now (25weeks and 2 days) and I'm depressed for everything my parents have made me feel, they told me things, very hurtful things because I am pregnant now

Points of view
While I understand your parents' disappointment, it seems unreasonable for them to overlook your achievements due to your current situation… remember you are more than capable of providing for your future child, proving that their narrow-minded expectations hold little relevance in the broader spectrum of life!
