Why I haven't been around a whole lot the past few days.

Well things have gone downhill for me as far as my depression etc goes.
I have been put on anti-depressants and have had the mental health crisis team calling me everyday to make sure I am ok.
I am the first to be booked with the new psychiatrist the mental health team has starting on Tuesday and I am on the waiting list to see a psychologist.
Just this whole not getting pregnant thing, my husband, my ex, my mum, my dad and what happened to me when I was younger have gotten too much for me to handle right now.
I have lost all confidence in myself, I have no libido and I hate sex.
I used to be such a fun, happy, strong person who loved who I was but the past few years everything has just slowly started to decay and I feel so weak.
Anyway that is why I haven't been around too much recently and I will probably just be popping in and out for the next week weeks until things start getting better.
Good luck to everyone and I hope you all get BFP's soon.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar, among other things, when I was 14 but after a few years was ok and handling everything without medication but then everything now has just gone to s**t.

many drs through around labels... i was claimeed to have a mood disorder, ADD, ADHD, amoungst other things. Later on started on Effexor and it has helped, but the downfall is the addiction you gain frm the pills, not taking them causes severe withdrawl symptoms

Many things can be a trigger, its good your going to see a professional to monitor your progress. I think we all should have someone we can talk to that has a non bias perspective of things.

I am so sorry to hear about your depression. I have gone through something similar in the past when I miscarried in 1998. I also suffered another one this year in March when I lost my twins. I feel so terrible for you and what you are going through. It is such a hard thing to deal with, the despair alone can smother you. Please message me whenever you need a friend.
Hugs

i really hope things get better for you. Please let us know how things go.

hon I'm so sorry, I know how much depression hurts. If you need someone to talk to you know you can confide ANYTHING with me. We're here for ya girl and I hope things look up for you. *hugs*

Ive had depression on and off for about 10 years, suicidal/break downs etc. I know how much it hurts and how hard it can be. The preggoissue makes it even worse. Im so sorry you're going through that. We all feel weak sometimes, but it doesnt mean that you are. You have got through everything in your past, and you can get through this too. There was a time when i couldnt remember the last time id laughed or even smiled, i never thought id know what it was like to feel 'normal' again. But slowly it did happen! Please remember, that no matter how bad it feels, it is just temporary, and one day things will feel alot better.

I was seeing a therapist at the start of this year but had to stop, we found outthis weekthat our son has progressive heart failure (no cure), and now i so badly wish i hada therapist again to keep me going. Seeing a professional can really help when you feel able to talk. Thats good that you have a supportive team around you. Know how much people care, it helps alot when everything seems so bad.

Try to do anything that makes you feel even a little better. I know its really bad, but i have being going outside for a cig everytime i begin to feel overwhelmed with it - the distraction stops me from doing anything. Think ofthings you can do to keep you busy, because becoming isolated and not doing anything can make things alot worse in the long term. Dont worry about who you used to be, you are you and everyone loves you for it. This is a rough patch for you, and soon it will fade and things will be better for you,i promise!

Idk if it will be ok with your meds, but i was taking alot of omega 3-6-9 and it really helped my depression. Within 3 months i just had this feeling of well-being, idk its really hard to describe, but it felt good lol. The oils help balance your chemicals. I have been on so many antidepressants over the years, and i can honestly say that these worked better than any of them! i took them at the same time as celexa and the 2 together worked wonders.

haha now my post will keep you busy for a while   PM me anytime, i know we havent really talked but id to get to know you more (hope that didnt sound sleazy lol...you know what i mean!). Even if its just to moan about everything, i am here to listen  

Aaww hun...girl I think everyone has had that "time in their life" where everything just sucks!!!  

I had a breakdown last month when I saw that I bought like 50 pregnancy tests and nothing at all. till CD63!! It is hard. Let it all out.. if you bottle things up ...it won't do any good. I pray to God that you get through this. Be strong.. if we don't fight the fight no one will do it for us.. we have to keep fighting to achieve our dreams.
Hang in there and you know you have friends in us!! ( in me)

hugs,
Ruthie

Good luck to you.
I know all too well how hard Bipolar disorder can be ( i was diagnosed 10 years ago).
As far as depression, im doing well now. But only 7 months ago i had post partum depression so severe i came very close to committing suicide. Thank god, my family intervened. I sought therapy and medication. Long story short, i'm doing well these days.

If you ever need to talk or just need an ear to listen to you vent, drop me a PM.

Thanks girls.
I am doing somewhat better now.
My grandmother passed away last Sunday so my family was worried how I would take it given I was already down but I am ok. I haven't even cried for a week so I guess that is a good sign.
Rodney and I have been walking every weekday and getting out of the house has helped ALOT. I really missed walking so have felt great getting out and doing it again, I just wish the dog didn't tire so quickly lol.
Anyway thank you all for the good thoughts and hugs.
