Hi gabbi recognizing the problem is the first step to finding the solution, so recognizing that you need help is a big step. i am so sorry your husband is unsupportive and i know what that feels like, but please realize that you are not alone. even if you don't feel like you can talk to your other family or friends, you have found this site and all of us here that you can talk to. many of us have been through things that are similar to what you have and we are all seeking help. as for me, helping others makes me feel better, so by you writing something i could respond to is a favor to me. i hope you will find the support you need here and will begin to feel a little better soon. good luck, Jenn

Hi Amy the tiredness and loss of motivation is so hard to get around isnt it even though i sort of get a decent sleep i still feel so tired all day and i just cant be bothered doing anything but then with the ocd i have to do things a certain way though im getting better with it its such a vicious circle i would love to wake up and just have one day of normality.as im sure everyone here would.Focus on the positives i have my beautiful children whom i would die for they are whats going to help me recover.Thankyou for your kind words i really appreciate your support and encouragement i hope i can offer you the same.Gabbi.

Hello Gabbi. I feel for you and I am glad to hear you are doing what you can for yourself. I have been getting a little frustrated because over the weekend I was feeling great but this week I have had to drag and make myself go to work everyday. I have been extra tired and not motivated to do anything. I have a hard time taking care of myself so I give you props for taking steps for yourself as you take care of a family. I look forward with talking soon. Hang in there. Amy

Hi Amy thanks for the warm welcome i feel better when i can talk with people who understand how im feeling i dont feel so alone in this battle.I have been on meds for a few months, i see a psychologist once a week and i thought i was travelling along ok every so often i get down but it usually only lasts a day or two but i have been miserable for over a week now maybe i need to increase my meds again i was hoping i wouldnt have to but i hate feeling like this.I have no motivation to do even the most basic things that need to be done and with kids i cant just sleep all day like id like to.I have started the depression program on this site so hopefully that will help too.Anyhow i look forward to talking with you.Gabbi.

Hello Gabbi, I know the feeling of being alone. I also do not have many friends that I can talk to. I just recently admitted to myself that I had depression and that it was time to do something about it. I have let if rule my life for so long and I am sick of this feeling. I have started to take meds, go to the theripst, and I vist this site almost everyday. I hope to talk soon. Amy

Gabbi, You've come to the right place! Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "PROGRAM TOOLS" you'll find our Depression Test. 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. We also have an amazing Depression Program, that may answer some of your questions and assist you as well. Please take the time to look it over and remember it is free. Many members are currently using the program, and have raved of its usefulness. You may also want to try our CBT buddies. This is like Yahoo or MSN. Once downloaded, you can speak to members who are also online for added support. Please let us know how we can help, Josie ___________________________________ The Depression Center Support Team.

Hi everyone im Gabbi i am 27 and married with 4 kids i have had bouts of postnatal depression after having 3 of my kids but now i have been diagnosed with anxiety/depression/ocd/and agoraphobia in other words i need help and lots of it i am trying so hard to recover but im stuck in this black hole that i cant seem to get my head above so i found this site and im hoping talking with other sufferers will help because i have isolated myself and cut myself off from all my friends i feel so alone.My husband is very unsupportive so i have no-one.I look forward to talking to anyone willing.Gabbi.
