NG is correct and makes a very good point.
You also need to seek help for the drinking. For one, alcohol is a major depressant...it's going to exacerbate your depression bigtime. Also, again, you cannot be the best parent you can be when chronic alcohol use is a factor.
sorry to hear about your pain but seek help because it's the answer.You will feel so much better.
Thank you. Since I had my HIV"risk" nearly 2 years ago it has intensified a lot. It was oral sex on a man when i was drunk, stupid. It still scares me to this day, every little feeling in my groin or armpits but mainly when my partner starts coughing and that. I was also abused as a child which i try to mask with alcohol. Sometimes i feel like killing myself but i am too scared of dying thankfully. I do cry a lot, sometimes i can physically feel myself nearly snapping, i get annoyed easily and i don't even want to be happy sometimes it seems.
I know what you mean.I would suggest you try what I have written down because it's working for me.Therapy and meds can work so well if you find the right therapist and you are on the correct medication.Alot of people try and deal with depression in silence--it doesn't work.
Hi rainlover. What is the deal for people who have children and are depressed, I feel deeply depressed but don't want the stigma of it on my kids
Thanks mammo,just thought I would express what's working for me and help others get the right treatment.
Great advice...thanks for sharing!

You have to always do what's going to benefit your children. Your children deserve a health and happy parent. It's hard to be the best parent we can be when fighting these illnesses, which is yet another reason to get help.
