I have quite a story to tell you. Read carefully. My mother and father live with each each other as well as me in the same house. Yet my mother has long-term depression and is on almost every anti psychotic, anti depressant thats on the market. Trust me I am a pharmacy technician, interestingly enough. Basically when she was young she had a miscarriage, was raped, parents left her for her “husband”, and she cant seem to move on from the past. The perfect candidate for a depressant according to the books. Now my mother and father are divorced but they have been living together for past 20 years. Its very complicated I know, sorry. She has been getting bad suicidal tendencies, last night she was about to Overdose on her medications, because she could take “life” anymore. Suicidal thoughts are more recurring than ever before. I thought about signing her to a facility for a vacation from work etc. But I don’t think there is an answer to this except live with it, what do you think? Thanks.

If you had your cholesterol checked and didn’t really cut out the bad stuff can you clog your arteries in a few month timespan? The reason I am asking is I had a high reading in March and have been going through a depression from miscarriage and pretty much have been eating bad foods. I am back on track and it’s September now, but could my health be turned around? Could I have done a lot of damage in that period of time??

I am a strong person but I am not sure whether my fatigue and tearfulness is due to depression or illness. I have had two miscarriages back to back, other personal problems and work problems and family pressures. I feel fatigued from midday to exhausted at 8pm and weak and want to sleep. Been to the gp who did thyroid and full blood tests for hep c and b and the full works. all came back clear. I have a hormonal imbalance with a cyst on my ovary, but other than that, I have no explanation.

I am not a very emotional person but at this moment (11 weeks preggo), I am like in a roller coaster of emotions. Sometimes I feel up and okay….and there r times when I feel so down and just cry.

I am presently still dealing with my heartbreak – breaking up with my baby’s father and him accusing me of deliberately getting myself pregnant.

I am just worried that my depression can affect my baby. Has other women felt this? And can depression heighten the risk of a miscarriage?

Could things get any worse? I feel my life is not worth living anymore as so many bad things have happened to me in the space of 4 weeks!
I am with a loving partner but i’m not sure his love is enough. I only got over deep depression last year, when I attempted suicide several times (before I met my current partner). I just want to know why all these horrible things have happened to me? what have I done to deserve this..

What would you do to relieve the depression?

I just suffered a miscarriage and will be getting a divorce soon. I feel really crappy I don’t even want to take showers.

Almost a year ago, my bf’s (now ex) gf had a miscarriage. All hes ever wanted was to b a father, so this really deeply hurt him. Hes had depression for a long while now, it comes and goes. And right now hes extremely depressed and just wants to hurt others or himself. He says its all he can do not to cut or even kill himself. I love him and care about him so much i just dont know what to do or say to him. Help please?

Our son just passed away on the 2nd of July and I have been suffering from depression and after my son past I didn’t want to have a funeral and doctors thought that was for the best but my boyfriend is calling of the wedding cause he thinks that was irresponsible of me but he all the way in Washington and couldn’t have made it so was I wrong for what I decided?

It’s been since 12-3-06 and I still cry whenever I see commercials about babies or when someone is in the grocery store and have their baby in the stroller. Normal? or Post-Partum Depression?
