I Battle Depression

I have depression for 18 years and am pregnant now. I thought I would be okay with it but now I don’t think I can be a mother. I regret of being pregnant. I feel like dying when I woke up in the morning. Can’t work, avoid seeing people and can’t do anything. I’m so weak. Maybe no one understand because most mothers are strong.

That's par for the course for depression, you aren't alone. Even in mothers, depression can be devastating, so don't listen to all of the "mother's are strong and unbreakable" nonsense. I wish I could give you a magic solution, but for the most part depression is just learning to ride it out and keeping people around on the extremely bad days.
