Depression?

[kborske]

I'm a ftm, alone and I have depression, is there any easy way to cope without resorting to antidepressants? I'm just scared that with me feeling so "blue" all the time might affect my lil' one...plz help...

I'm 24 years old and I have a history of depression, was diagnosed with it at a young age. It's a combination of things: am I going to be a good mother, will I have the means to do this, will my bf (not the father) stick it through with me. I also have the horrible habit of over-thinking things. Just hard to enjoy this whole experience when I'm worried all the time. /:

In all honesty you have wake up and smile tell ur stuff positive things through the day! I am a widowed mother of 3 with my fourth on the way!

That's something you should talk your doctor about.Maybe even family or friends.If you don't mind me asking what's wrong? I have been depressed and I had to start thinking about the life of my children.

Have you had depression before you were pregnant? This is something you want to talk to your doctor about. I used to see a psychiatrist to help and took medications for a few years. Now I've learned to manage it with a lot of anti-stress techniques but it took a lot of practice. I still have bad weeks sometimes. I'd be more than happy to share some things that work for me.
