re: Depression/Suicide Support Thread

Are there any antidepressants that are safe to take during pregnancy ? If so how do I bring this up to my OB? I'm kind of nervous/ ashamed but I cant keep going on like this.

I'm not sure if any are 100% safe. I know of zoloft, celexa, and Paxil I believe though. There's no need to be ashamed. I'd just tell them how you've been feeling, and see if they feel that the benefits of a Med will outweigh the risks of not taking it.

Depression sucks. I really hate it

Does anyone have any good legit links on PPD? I was diagnosed while my husband is away and he is having a hard time being there for me because he admits he doesnt know much about it. I cant even start my medication yet because my doctor told me it would get worse before better and I cant risk being suicidal with just me and my boys here.

interesting ideas...!

I can't seem to shake these feelings and they only just keep getting worse. I can't sleep.. The man I've been with for 8 years and is the father of my DD doesn't want this new baby... Or me. I thought he'd come around but he hasn't yet... He's missing everything. All he does is verbally abuse me & accuse me of the baby not being his because he's in denial. My family isn't any real support & I don't have any friends. I'm sick of crying myself to sleep every single night. Im beginning to feel like i don't want this baby anymore and adoption keeps crossing my mind but I know how much it would kill me to follow thru with that. I feel like I'm dying inside. I don't know what to do anymore I just wish all of this was over.

Hi I just found this thread. My life is total smurf right now, it's gotten so bad that I've actually considered suicide. I don't even know what's wrong with me, but I'm sad all the smurfing time. Nothing really makes me happy (accept my baby.) I get no support from my SO and it sucks. I feel so hated by everyone.

I'm here if you need to talk. It wont seem like that for forever. Have you tried talking to the people making you feel this way or tries counseling?

No and I've been considering see a therapist but I'm afraid people will think I'm a horrible person for feeling this way while pregnant.

Hun right now it's not about what others think. You have to do what is best for yourself.
