In the story I’m writing, one of the three main characters suffers from severe depression, exacerbated by her 6th miscarriage — she has 7 children. A convert to Catholicism, she and her husband do not believe in any birth control except the rythym method. She is 47, lower middle class, grew up poor on a small scratch farm in the the mountains of Virginia, and now lives in Northern Virginia. Depression and mental illness run in her family.

Mothers suffering from Post Partum Depression

Post partum depression is a condition that manifests itself in women following the birth of a child. The most notable symptoms experienced by sufferers of post partum depression include sleeping disturbances, recurrent sadness, loss of appetite, loss of energy, hopelessness, frustration, exhaustion, guilt, low self esteem, social withdrawal, and many other negative experiences.

Although much time and effort has been expended trying to unlock the secrets of this condition, no definitive single factor can be identified that in itself leads to post partum depression. Several issues have been singled out as important factors that contribute in part to the condition. These include prenatal depression, lack of self esteem, prenatal anxiety, and chronic conflict with a spouse.

My hormones are all over the place, ironically even with a precious little baby in my tummy, and a loving supportive family, I still fell alone. I was so excited in my first trimester but now, I have no energy or desire to do those things that used to make me happy. I just feel so drained all the time. I don’t really see my friends and I seldom leave the house anymore. I’m terrified that these thoughts will make me a bad mother, and I only have 5 more weeks to prepare myself for his arrival. What can I do to re-charge myself. Are these fears common?

anyone suffering from pregnancy depression?

I have been crying a lot and angry when I am not crying and hopeless feeling when I am not crying or angry. Now, keep in mind I WANT MY CHILD so this is not a poor me I got pregnant type of thing.

I am living 3K miles away from all of my family and friends and have NOBODY here. We moved here to be closer to my husband’s family but they aren’t that warm and fuzzy and close is not the best word to describe the family out here. My neigbors are nice and all but nobody really truly interacts beyond “lawn looks nice”.

Anyhow, I am feeling quite alone, fat, lonely, depressed, isolated and pretty much miserable at a time I thought I would be happy. I mean, this sucks. I should be singing from the rooftops, right?
