Pregnant and Depressed

kayelle perhaps you have to work on your husband sexually. do his favourite things, experiment a little. tell him he's hot...whatever. this site has some proper decorum so i can't say too much, but i'm writing from my own masculine point of view. men do look at relationships and sex in a much different manner than women do. bob

kayelle you will be unpregnant some day, so your husband will be attracted to you. perhaps you could focus more on looking for good things to say and do for your husband and daughter. its a very difficult thing also to diversify your life in your condition and with a young child, but perhaps you can look beyond your family for something that interests or captivates you. i walk around with a digital camera and take pictures of everything, my neighbours included...if your bring a kid you attract lots of attention. you could work on a photo family photo album. Also, keep a journal, write poetry, write to and read this site etc. I have read a few things about cognitive behaviour therapy and i think that has helped me focus on whats important in my life. you know your life will change, as you bring another child into the world. Hang in there. bob

Kayelle, Thank you for sharing your story with us and welcome t our support community. Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find our Depression Test. This test is not a diagnostic tool and is not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. This may also help better assess the situation. If you have any question or concerns with our site or please contact Support Department at support@depressioncenter.net. We are open to any questions or concerns you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Josie ___________________________________ The Depression Center Support Team.

Hi, I'm new here. I'm desperate to find some help and came upon this website. I'm due to have my second baby at the end of next month. I have a history of depression but haven't been treated for it for awhile--went off antidepressants (which never really helped much) before I got pregnant the first time in early 2003. I'm feeling like a horrible, unworthy human being. I have a wonderful daughter and my husband says he loves me--but we've been drifting further and further apart. He has no interest in me physically and while he's always said that it's because we are not getting along, he finally admitted last night that he is not attracted to me right now (not his exact words, but it was something like--"you're less sexy when you're pregnant." It just destroyed me. I can't seem to snap out of this. I keep crying and crying though I'm trying to hide this from my daughter. In the meantime, I'm also losing my patience with her (toddler tantrums, etc.) My husband is just sick of me being this way; I don't know how much longer he can take it. I feel like such an ugly, fat, idiotic loser. I want to feel better, and I want to be there for my husband and daughter (and new child). I've been trying to reach a therapist (my former one plus a new referral) all day and won't be able to get in until next week. Don't know what to do in the meantime. My husband is tired of my negativity and sadness. I need some advice or input or reassurance or something!
