I’m looking for some colors that are representive of denial, anger, and depression! Getting a tattoo for the anniversary of my unborn childs death… thanks

I miscarried four years ago and I still feel guilty and depressed about it every day. I’m begining to think it’s time to get help. I have two other children to think abotu and I still think abotu the one I lost. It has gotten to the point where I get aggitated easily, I have trouble sleeping, and I feel that because I lost a child, I don’t deserve the two children I do have. Another thing, after I had my youngest I had severe Post Partum Depression. I stopped taking my meds cold turkey when she was abotu 9 months old. She’ll be two next month. I’m wondering if I could still be suffering from PPD or if it’s deeper than that. I know I need to get back to the doctor and I will as soon as possible. I just wanted to get some opinions first.

Before I got pregnant, I was going through a very bad time of about 3 months. I was diagnosed with clinical depression and was taking anti depressants. At my lowest point I ended up in hospital after attempting to commit suicide.
Well I think me getting pregnant was my answer from God, and I am just so much better now. I stopped the medication as soon as I found out that I was pregnant and have been absolutely healthy during my pregnancy.
The thing is during the time I was depressed, a lot of my so called ‘friends’ left me to deal with things on my own. Now that I am pregnant, some of them haven’t even bothered to congratulate me.

It hurts, because I always stuck with them during their bad times, and I was always a really outgoing person so when depression struck, I really needed support, which from most of my friends I did not get.

The title must be engaging, creative, and only a few words.

Last week I lost my baby @ 8 wks into my pregnancy. This was my 1st pregnancy, and although it was unplanned, I was thrilled. This has been a very trying year for my husband & I both–we’re both cops & deal w/ a lot of stress. Just before I found out I was pregnant, my husband was involved in a shooting @ work. At the same time, I got assigned to a dangerous narcotics task force and started working crazy hours in really bad areas. I’ve always been able to handle stress pretty well, but losing this baby has crushed me. I know I have to go back to work, but I feel paralyzed by grief. I’m also still trying to cope with the constant fear for my husband’s safety that his shooting has generated. I’ve always been against taking meds, but I gotta find a way to get out of bed and go on. I’m seeking therapy, but I know that takes time, and I’m feeling pressured to get back to work. Just looking for anyone w/ friendly advice or personal experience that might help me decide…

The aches and pains brought by pregnancy are well worth it after seeing your new born child, but with today’s new innovations in physical and massage therapy, pregnant mothers no longer have to bear the physical downside of carrying a baby. Generally, pregnant women experience sore backs, swollen ankles, and morning sickness. Fortunately, many massage clinics in Tampa, Lutz, Carrolwood, and Wesley Chapel recognize the need for a specialized treatment for expectant mothers. Clinics now offer these massages that come in different variations, depending on where the mother is in her pregnancy. This trend all over the US is a probable answer to people’s higher value for a healthy life. Recent studies from the University of Georgia have encouraged prenatal or pregnancy massages because it has crucial benefits for the mother and the baby during the pregnancy and at childbirth.
