Is it depression?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me a little about depression. The past month or so I have been very very irritable and upset. My fiance will say the slightest thing to me that shouldnt upset me at all and i will get upset and lash out and start crying. When i start crying i cant stop for a while. All i want to do anymore is cry...over anything and everything and i get sooo angry and upset soooo easily. This is not like me. Ive always gotten upset over certain things like a normal person would but the past month its been out of control and i cant help it. I try not to get upset or cry and it just makes it worse. I dont know if any if these would affect it but i am in the process of moving in with my fiance soon but arent upset at all about that, im very happy about that. We are also trying for a baby but may have trouble because i have problems with my ovaries and have bot yet concieved. I also have problems at home with my mom always being in a bad mood and her voyfriend who i dont get along with at all. I am also in the process of looking for a job until i can return to college in september and get my cosmetology license. Please if anyone could tell me somethig and help me out i would be extremely thankful! Thank you <3
I think you are both stressed & depressed but seeing your doctor is a good idea because you discuss this and make a plan.I hope all goes well for you.
Oh man, well I hope all goes well and as you wish, just please cut back on the stress. Too much stress can cause infertility as well.
We have pleanty set aside and already set a date as to when we are moving in which will b in july. We are trying now because my dctor suggested getting a hysterectomy sometime soon bc of the provlems with my ovaries and the pain it has caused that is why we are trying because we want a baby. Adoption or any other option as to having a baby is out of the question for us.
According to the NIMH, the symptoms of depression are as follows:
*difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions
*fatigue and decreased energy
*feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness
*feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism
*insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping
*irritability, restlessness
*loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex
*overeating or appetite loss
*persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment
*persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings
*thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts
You could have some depression going on, but I agree that it could also be just stress from the situations you have going on in your life. Certainly keep an eye on it, and talk to your doctor about it as well.
Just an observation, not a judgement....it honestly seems as though the very last thing you should be doing is trying for a baby. It sounds like you have a lot of things you need to finish before adding that to the mix. For one, your schooling. Also, your living situation, etc.
There's never a "perfect" time to have a baby, but there are certainly more optimal situations. I think if you wait until you're done with school, have a steady job, are settled in with your fiancee, and maybe have a few bucks set aside, you'll be much less stressed, and more prepared to take on the HUGE job of pregnancy and parenthood. That may be why you have not conceived yet...too much stress and uncertainty. I would give it some thought if I were you. It will be a lot harder to finish school and job hunt while pregnant and with a newborn. That's an awful lot of change all at once!
Take care, good luck!

Im not sure, im not due for my period for 2 weeks n we have been trying but i took a test last month n i wasnt.
It seems as though it's probably just stress. If you're still feeling like this two or three months from now I would speak to your doctor, but for now don't worry (: Also, could you be pregnant? Hope this helps.
