I’m 2 months pregnant. this is my first pregnancy and it’s been extremely difficult. I’m having huge problems with my job and house at the moment and I’m suffering from clinical depression. I’m trying to stay positive although I’m scared to death at the fact my world seems to be crashing down around me. my boyfriend is aware of these issues but doesn’t seem to want to know. He now wants to end the relationship. He doesn’t seem to want me around while I’m down. He’s picking at me everyday and is no support what so ever. He seems to be angry with me for feeling low! i get angry because i can’t believe someone can be so cold especially as im dealing with so much at the moment effectively by myself. I’m quite proud and don’t want to tell family or friends how i’m feeling as they don’t even know i’m pregnant yet. so I only have him for possible emotional support and that’s all i want, just some supportive words and encouragement from him. Your advice would be great, thanks

Stress can be a major contributor to an anxiety or panic condition or the trigger that will start anxiety disorders. For many people who have personalities that are predisposed to anxiety, stressful events or the accumulation of stressful events over a relatively short period of time can lead to anxiety symptoms.

As our economy becomes increasingly perilous, more and more people are struggling with anxiety. You are not alone! Millions of Americans are grappling with panic attacks, extreme anxiety and the negative effects of these conditions. The symptoms can be frightening and contribute to depression and more trouble with your job or family. 
 
To determine whether your stress load has become too much, think back over the past year or two of your life. Think about the events or changes in your life that may have contributed to your stress level. Individual events or changes may not have been overwhelming by themselves but when they are coupled with other events, the cumulative effect may be major.

Hot flashes don’t just affect women at the menopausal stage. If you are pregnant, you can also experience what are known as pregnancy hot flashes.

A hot flash is normally manifested by flushed sensations and sudden intense heat through the chest, neck, and face. This symptom may also be accompanied by perspiration, vertigo, heart palpitations, dizziness, nausea, anxiety, headaches, night sweats, and weakness. A hot flash can last up to four minutes. However in some extreme cases, it can last from twenty minutes to one hour.

There are two major reasons for pregnancy hot flashes:

I have graves disease with ALL the symptoms but I also had depression. Which is a symptom of hypothyroid. I’m wondering am I just depressed or is that a little known sypmtom no one talks about. Also I havent taken my medication for a year, I just took a blood test and they all came back normal.
I believe that pregnancy brought on my graves and now that I am done with having kids and breastfeeding them, it has disappeared? Is that possible or am i in lala land?

Hi, i have a small baby, she is 4 and a half months old. I think i could be suffering from postnatal depression. I was depressed for the majority of my pregnancy due to it being unplanned and pressure to abort (from her father) After she was born, i had the baby blues, i think it was because i was so overwhelmed with having a new baby etc, but i soon got into the swing of things, and i do love my daughter dearly. Lately things have taken a turn for the worse, and i find myself crying more often than not, i have suicidal thoughts, i hate myself and feel like a failure. If it wasn’t for my elder daughters (15 & 16) my baby would surely be in care, as days when i can not even bare to look at my baby, they take over for me. Which makes me feel even worse, that i have to subject them to this life. I don’t leave the house, unless i absolutely need to, and when i do, i feel self conscious and paranoid like everyone else can somehow sense that i am a failure. I find it hard to go to sleep, which in turn makes it harder for me to wake up at a decent hour. Everybody around me like my mothers, sisters seem to expect me to be ‘strong’, so sometimes i pretend that i am happy, to make them feel better, but inside i am dead. I just want to feel better again. I often wish i did have an abortion or i think about giving my baby up for adoption. I have even called social services to do so, but didn’t give them my real details, the next day i was happy that i did that. I am going to the docs on friday, and i plan to confess how i am really feeling. But i just want to hear from other mothers who maybe suffered from postnatal depression too and recovered. Honestly, did the medication work? and how long did it take to have effect? and how does it make you feel? groggy? more alert? what?
Thank you everyone 4 all your input and 4 sharing your experiences.I have a beautiful home with a large garden, and i recently purchased a 12ft trampoline which i use from time 2 time, so i think i get enough exercise and fresh air. I am just not enjoying mixing with people right now, so i spend alot of time at home. As I don’t want other pples sympathy. Also where i live i dont have any friends or fam, every1 lives far away.Lately i have been going out on Friday eves and drinking, listening to music ( which feels really good and makes me 4get about my life for a moment)…but it is only temporary. Every where i go, everyone seems to be happy. It hurts to see moms and dads with their babies, knowing i am raising mine alone. Her father hates me. He came to a few hospital appointments, was there when she was born and was around for a few weeks after, but due to an argument we had in June, he hasn’t seen her since and he wont talk to me. This doesn’t help, as i don’t know whats going on.

Ever since I got pregnant, I have been feeling terrible. It seems like nothing in my life is going right. I just graduated from college and had been accepted to go to graduate school… but then I found out I was pregnant, and I had to change my plans. I was so devastated that I got pregnant, but I decided to keep the baby. I was supposed to go to school, get my doctorate, and then have kids… but sometimes plans change. So I declined my invite to go to school and started looking for a full-time job. However, one trimester later, I suffered a miscarriage.

It’s been one week since I had the fetus removed…

Has anyone gone through this before? I am 30 weeks preg and have been really depressed. Is there anything I can do about it? Any medications or what did you do to help yourself?

A mental disorder like depression is not only detrimental to the mental and physical health of the patient but also serves to be a dampener and a cause of major worry to the people around the patient. Depression contaminates the whole environment around the patient and this is one major reason why the sufferer finds the whole world around him very low on energy. He develops a pessimistic attitude towards the world around him and his surroundings only assume the shades of black and grey. All the colors fade away and life ceases to be enjoyable for him.
