Hi there, I'm 23 and a SAHM. I've been up and down for as long as I can remember and after the birth of my son just over 2 years ago I knew I had post natal depression but didnt want to admit it to the world. I didnt want people to think I was a bad mum or anything. Anyway, 2 years later I have another child who is 10 months and 7 weeks ago I miscarried twins at 11 weeks. I finally decided I best see a doctor as I was getting much worse and I finally admitted to my partner I wasnt coping with daily life. My doc put me on Zoloft which I've been on for a week and so far they havent done anything but she said they'll take 2-3 weeks.
I decided to start this program because I want to be able to help myself. I dont want to rely on meds for the rest of my life. I want to be back to my old self - well at least, I want something about me to be recognizable by me. I find it very hard talking to people about myself and especialy when I'm depressed. I feel I have to pretend I'm fantastic when inside all I want to do is curl up under a rock.
I guess thats enough about me for now. Good luck to everyone.
Hi there, my doc put me on Zoloft a week ago and she told me I didnt need to take it with food just to take it in the morning.
Good luck with it, I hope it helps.
I totally agree with you Banjogal.
I found this site after looking into online therapy because I absolutely HATE the idea of group therapy or even one-on-one with someone that I dont know. I find it easier to talk about my problems and what goes on and what goes wrong with people that cant see me which is why I found and have started using this site.
Hi Mugs, I dont really know your situation as I've never been in anything like that but please dont give up. I hope you find the answers you are looking for and I hope you find that someone who makes you incredibly happy and makes you feel like you are worth everything, because you are.
Good luck with your depression, I hope this site helps you.
I was raised to not really acknowledge feelings as well. If I was having a sad day, I'd get yelled at to smile and pretend its all good which is why I'm here too!
Once I took that very first step and admitted there was a problem it was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders! Now I just need to develop more coping skills and acknowledging tools I guess you'd call it!
Good luck, hope its been going well for you.
I felt exactly the same about getting and staying motivated - I still do a little - but I was told that 21 is the key to a habit. If you can do it 21 times it becomes a habit.
I dont know how to get the motivation to actually do something 21 times for it to turn into a habit but I'm trying very hard! Good luck to you if, I discover the key to motivation (because I'm looking for it) I'll let you know.
