depression
The past few months I've been beyond depressed its getting worse all I do is sleep I can't eat I can't stop crying and all I can think about is killing myself I've put off telling my doctor because im scared they'll attempt me to the crazy house what should I do...
Sometimes it takes people outside of your immediate circle to show you how much people care. I sent you a message, I'm here anytime. I know all too well how hard depression is especially on top of pregnancy hormones.
You all will never know how much you have helped me this morning im crying happy tears a group of strangers care more about me than I care for myself
No. I was on one medication that made me feel that way, but not all of them are like that, you just have to find what one works for you. I used to be on a few medications that really did help me, even my family noticed that I seemed happier and less anti social.
If any of you want to message me or text me ill send you my number Its sad I know but I just need friends to talk to every now and again
Is it true about any depression medication you don't feel anything you have no emotion anymore?
Oh wow. You have a lot on your plate.. but first off, don't let anyone persuade you on your decision with the baby. You do what YOU want to do, as you are the one carrying it. And depression is not people overthinking things. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain. Basically our brains don't produce enough endorphins or "feel good" hormones and the medication fixes that imbalance. It's no different than being bipolar. My family used to say the same thing when I first told them I was depressed, like "oh you're just going through teenager stuff" or "oh school is just stressful right now." But its so much more than that! People that don't deal with the struggle of it have a hard time understanding because its not like you can SEE depression. You don't get a rash or bumps or anything from it so they think its all in your head. But believe me, I've been dealing with it my whole entire life and even took a psychology course to learn more and it is all too real. I think you need to forget about everyone else for a minute and take care of you and that baby.
As honey I'm sorry your going through this and it ***** your family and friends have done that go get help for you and baby if you don't you may end up hurting yourself and baby I'm not trying to scare you or anything your going through a lot and it takes a toll on you
Im scared they will take the baby away from me as well ever since people found out I was pregnant all my friends left me and called me a ***** my family wants me to give him up for adoption my boyfriend says he doesn't even want this kid I feel like im just over reacting I always felt like depression was just someone over thinking everything I know that's how my family feels they'd say im starved for attention and on top of everything I found out while o was pregnant that my ex gave me hpv so my now boyfriend has it as well he holds it against me
Yes ,the only way you will get baker acted is if you let it be known that you are suicidal,so just avoid bringing it up if you just want medication,good luck please always remember there are ppl here you can always talk to and just keep looking up always, take care hun!
Oh honey. That is not good. I know you don't want everyone to know but honestly that is the least of your worries. Especially with you being pregnant, now is the perfect time to be selfish. Depression is a serious illness, not a choice. You need to think about the safety of you and baby before anyone else. And with you being 19, (at least that's how it is where I live) if you change your mind during the program, you can sign yourself out. And the one I went to, they told me the first day that I can refuse to go to classes, I can refuse to eat, I can refuse to participate in group activities, but since im there I might as well go because I would benefit from it, otherwise what's the point? They will probably do one on one counseling as well and may try a medication for you. But you have to be honest with them.
In my opinion I think you should tell your doctor everything get help now before baby comes because the lack of sleep and everything else can pile onto the stress someone has yo be strong for you and keeping it bottled up inside only makes it worse think of that beautiful baby growing inside you he/she needs a healthy mommy...
Im 19 I really don't want anyone to know im depressed that's why I don't want to be put in the hospital because I know as soon as I get out my mom will be all over me and my boyfriend saying its his fault and I need to move back home my boyfriend doesn't even know I feel this way no one does other than y'all I haven't wrote a suicide note or anything like that but I will grab knifes and bottles filled with pills and lay in the tub thinking If I should go through with it
Honestly. If you have attempted suicide in the past and think you really might try again, I would tell your doctor everything. There is a difference between being passively suicidal, and actively suicidal. If the thought just sounds nice then counseling and medication may be enough. But if you are thinking of what ways you would do it and all the details, a suicide note etc. then you need to tell your doctor. Like I said being under suicide watch isn't the most fun thing, but through the group therapy and activities it is really helpful and I know at least for myself, made me see life in a different way. Can I ask, how old are you?
I feel like all im doing is over reacting I've tried to kill myself In the past before I was pregnant but never told anyone I feel so selfish im trying so hard to just fake a smile I feel like I need to be strong for me and my boyfriend because he is bi polar and its gotten so much worse and that just adds on to my depression I really just want to give up just run away from everything im going to my doctor this afternoon should I just leave out the fact im suicidal and tell him everything else?

Please tell your Dr, mama. They won't send you to the crazy house but they can help you by prescribing you a low dose of an anti depressant to take during your pregnancy.. I had to be put on zoloft bc I too was getting depressed.. and its okay, your baby wants a happy mommy.. our hormones are just everywhere and sometimes depression happens. Please feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to, and just try to keep your head up.. things will be okay (:
I have severe depression and sever anxiety, i struggled with thoughts of suicide but never told my doctor about that. i just said i was severely depressed and when they asked if i was suicidal i said no. they put me on medication and i am so much happier, i never think of suicide anymore. I will be on this medication for the rest of my life and i am perfectly 100% okay with that :) i just couldnt function as a normal human being when i wasnt taking it.
I have felt this way too. Was it like this before you got pregnant? Either way, if you are thinking about suicide you NEED to tell your doctor. You can get hooked up with counseling and I have been to an inpatient center for overdosing, no they're not the most fun places in the world, but I learned a lot there and came out with a whole new perspective on life.
Well being that i suffer from depression since i was younger and hve been suicidal in the past i can tell you from experience that if you tell anyone in the medical field they have no choice but to baker act you which is admit you to a center against your own will, so if you dont want that & ARE REALLY SURE YOU DONT NEED IT then what i think you should do is something to take your mind off things something that makes you happy and surround yourself around ppl at all times, al though i would recomend talking to someone about it cus in all reality my mom took me to get baker acted i never wanted to go i use to cut myself cry everyday extreme sepression & anxiety and after a few days at the nut house i was feeling so much better but then again everyone os different,is there any specific reason why your always crying or is it just depression?
