Today, Jackson is exactly four months old. He was born September 8. On November 25, I had a miscarriage. Now I have a couple weeks of waiting before I can take a pregnancy test after yet another bad deicision. I am on the depo shot... then again, I was on birth control when I got pregnant with Jackson. And it's not just the pregnancy issue. I see myself engaging in behavior that I'm not proud of but I can't seem to convince myself to stop. I mean, I've told myself no sex and no dates until after my birthday (which is in late March), bu I'm not sure I can stick with that. Any advice?

My advice would be to seek out a therapist/counselor to help you get to the bottom of why you engage in those behaviors that you are telling yourself not to engage in. Not only is pregnancy a risk factor but you have to remember the amount of STDs that are present in today's society. You are possibly endangering your health as well as your mental well-being. Finding out the root cause of this issue could help save your life.

Sorry I don't have any other advice. I'm definitely not a professional on the matter. Keep reaching out!

I would also say to seek counseling to help you find the root of the problem(s) because I, myself, had and placed my first girl and then thought I had things taken care of, but then a little while later, I found myself in the bad situation once again and was pregnant and ended up placing another girl for the second time.

I thought I had everything figured out and that I was doing better because I had been in counseling, but I had to go to two counselors at the same time for quite a while and really want to figure out things for myself before I did. Thankfully I was able to get to the root of my problems with the help of both my counselors before I went through finding myself pregnant or doing things I wasn't proud of again after the second time.

It was a cycle I found myself in and I was repeating the unhealthy cycle until I got the help I needed from some very skilled counselors so there are others who have been where you've been and there are counselors and people out there that can help if you want them to.
