I just want to give up. One minute im positive the next im ready to give up. The back and fourth mind games my brain plays with me is exhausting enough. I feel lost and alone. Life has kicked me in the butt for years now. Every time i turn around i have a new diagnosis. Beginning of the year it was postpartum anxiety/ocd...last year it was vulvodynia...now its LPR....whats next? I'm a mom...i want to be a good and healthy mom. I just want to cry.

The first step is seeking out proper medical care. Have you told you dr exactly how you're feeling? He maybe able to put you on an antidepressant and maybe recommend some therapists in your area. I think as a young mom it would've helpful to discuss all these emotions with a neutral third body.
Keep posting there are some great people here. We're all very supportive of each other! Good luck

stacey i know how youfeel and let me tell you you are already stronger than you realise

first accept your aloud to have ups and downs, you dont have to think clear all day everyday in one state of mind.

i have been of meds 2 months and its been hard as hell but today i se more light than yesterday and every day theres a bit more. Im not religious by the way i say that in my own context.

you feel crap beacuse youve had medsin you for a long time and wen they leave u react just as a drug addict we get withdrawals. they go away!! i promise
so you need your meds and you will get them, in the meantime u may feel bad buttt its not going to be forever, your not alone so dont think that i promise

take time for you, make effort to do a few things that make you feel relaxed, forget trying to be happy happy its a long walk so tart at lets relax a bit just a bit not alot
what will help you do that???
me its a bit off jazz music in the bath, i may last ten mins i may last an hour bt those tunes take me away and have some peace.
think what u like and do it, dont think about doing never think just do
when i have to work as i work from home too i say stop hang on dont start thinkong orr im to tied to qwork i need to wash i need to sleep blabla, i say ahhh doit get up stairs go in room do do do and before i know ive made two outfits for my shop and i feel prouder.
again it takes time to build up the positives
i really sugest hypnotherepy hun as u will learn how to go to the filing cabnets in your mind full of negatives and remove them
buy relaxing music, cds help anything you can or write your own

let me know if you want to chat

Stacey,

Welcome to the depression forum. so sorry you are dealing with so much.

You did get some good suggestions as in talking to a 3rd party or your doctor regarding your feelings if you have not done so.

Depression is a roller coaster illness, and the shock of changes in our lives and illness's like postpardom can actually change the chemicals in our brains to cause depression.

So it is important that you be honest with someone about how you are feeling so you can become stable, and a strong Mom for your children. This is not easy to deal with. I hope you have family that will support you.

there are resources at the top of this forum if you do not know where to start. Review them see of any of them can be helpful if you do not want to talk to your doctor.

Continue to post here, we call, listen and support each other.
Peace
Trina
