Depression after discovering you were unwanted?
I realized a couple of years ago that I was an accidental pregnancy. Not only that, but my mom told me that if she had her chance over again, she wouldn’t have had me. Even though I’m a very cheerful and happy person generally, whenever I think about this, I feel very sad and sometimes unloved. I imagine what life would have been like if I had been aborted and it’s a really horrible thought – I have even lost sleep over it! I feel sad almost to the point of tears when I think about all those babies who have been aborted and whenever I read about abortion in the media, I constantly think about what if that baby was me. I have an awesome life other than massive issues with my mom – loving & committed relationship with girlfriend, very healthy, generally happy and doing really well at college. It’s only this I worry about and I worry about it constantly. Any thoughts – might I have depression?

Nope, not depressed :] Otherwise you wouldn’t be ‘generally happy”, also most relationships will fall through if you were depressed.
You’re anxious , CALM DOWN! If the situation is that bad with your mother then get a therapist – it will help you sort out your problems. :]
Depression is a case where one acts as if he/she doesn;t have blood flowing in her/him anymore (yes its like u are lifeless)
and you cant just brand urself as depressed right away..there re symptoms and levels and a psychiatrist is the one who can only diagnose you (weather u are depressed or not).
get a grip, your mom had a life before you were born, big deal.
my best guess would be that maybe 80% of all people walking this earth were not planned. I had my first at 17, and I love her dearly, but there are many times when I think if I could do it over again, would I?
honestly, I dont know the answer. live the life you have been given, regardless of how or why you got here. and forgive your mom, she did the best she could, and after all, you are alive, so live.
