How long after the birth of your baby did you feel “normal” again? I’m a month away from delivery and the depression is pretty bad despite my being monitored by a psychiatrist who has me on anti-depressants. I’ve forgotten what it feels like to feel “normal”.
Late last year I had frequent periods due to stress caused by family , planning a wedding & work. When I called the clinic the nurse told me to see a Doctor ASAP.I went to the Dr. Dr. prescribed me Provera for 10 days. I went into deep depression due to bad side effects. I couldn’t eat all day, I got really scared of everything (even public places), I thought I was possed by the devil, I had irrational thoughts,I threw up alot & I was suisidal. I told mom about it. She made me feel like a bad aweful person.She said I won’t be a good wife & a mom. I went to the Dr. again to get rid of my side effects of provera. Dr. gave me Zoloft because I asked for it & Zanex. I took small doze but developed more side effects like irrational thoughts. I am off the meds as soon as I got married 4 months ago. Now I am preg & still have bad thoughts. I was normal before I took any meds. My husband is so wonderful & I am sad to put him through this. Dr. says I should go on meds. But I don’t want to.
I feel so depressed all the time. I wasn’t like this with my first pregnancy. I feel like it’s hard to do anything without feeling like it’s the end of the world. I’m scared this may cost me my job. I feel like I can’t be happy and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to go to the doctor because they will just think I’m nuts or suicidal. Any tips from anyone on how to get through this?
