1573548 tn?1330456863 I have a question about depression. A little background on me : I'm 124 days clean from pill addiction. I'm doing pretty well but not great. I was diagnosed with depression after my oldest son was born (8 years ago). I took so many different antidepressents. Nothing seemed to work. Over the past few months I've been doing a lot of research on this site as well as other sites. I don't "feel" the same way I did when my doctor diagnosed me long ago.
Avatar f tn What you descibe could in fact, be a reaction to depression. In order to determine this however, you need to see your doctor(with all symptoms in hand) or a mental health provider. People no longer have to suffer depression since there are alternatives such as counseling and medication available. The downside of most anti-depressants though is that they cause weight, although a few won't cause many problems.
Avatar f tn on top of being hospitalized twice with morning sickness, every bad thing possible with my husband, the other kids and their thousand activities, and work...I just stay in tears. I try to see it as a blessing, but I always end up thinking I didn't want this. I havent told anyone yet ...I don't want to here all the negativity so I have no one to talk to...
Avatar m tn The pattern then was have a headache on Saturday, take ibuprofen, blood in saliva on the Monday - rest of the week often a little brown discoloration or else fine. I have had my teeth cleaned, gums have receded a little but otherwise no problems were noted. Today I tested the theory that perhaps the headache was the cause of the blood, this might actually be the case from what I've been observing, makes me wonder if it is sinus related.
Avatar f tn Almost 29 weeks, and feel like Im falling into depression, I've been off work since March, my son & I lost our house since I wasn't working & couldn't afford rent. We're staying at a shelter to help us get into affordable housing, my dad found out and has been doing nothing but say horrible things that I can't support my kids, and those poor kids don't even have a house of their own.
Avatar m tn You have the classic symptoms of depression, and these need to be addressed. But with your periods being irregular it may be that your hormones are out of whack, and seeing your OB-GYN would be a good first step. This may be the causing your symptoms of depression. There is no shame in being under the care of a psychiatrist, this is their specialty and depression is no different than any other medical condition that needs a doctor's care.
Avatar m tn I am a pretty emotional guy, with some already present anxiety issues and emerging from depression earlier this year. So, this is going to be extra tough. Hang in there with me guys! Thanks again. Congrats to all of you who are a step ahead of me, you give me hope!
Avatar n tn Distract yourself, get out a little, do fun activities with your kids, go to the park, walk, listen to music, get pretty like do your makeup and hair.
4971738 tn?1390565384 I do know talking can help even if its just for a little while, I take comfort in just the few hours I can have my mind at rest and ease. My husband is constantly have to tell me everything is going to be okay and I do know that but at this time and moment the light at the end of the tunnel is not in sight. The worst is knowing logically what is behind the mental part but yet the response, emotions, and feelings are so irrational.
1338860 tn?1275920555 Just wondering if you have heard or learned anything about your symptoms. I have had these same issues for about 4 months now and it is slowly getting worse. It seems to have started right around the time I went on a diet. I have lost 40 pounds and was thinking that this should make me feel better not worse. I also have very little stress in my life (at least I didn't until these symptoms started). I am an ex-smoker for some years now but I do have asthma.
306245 tn?1244384967 i was wondering he gets tired of going short distances,he can not keep up with kids his own age (it is hard to tell in school since there are only 2 other kids in his class ) but I have seen younger kids go more then he does, my question is if they were to put in a pacemaker and set it so his heart can't go above or below a number say 60-120 and keep his heart in a regular beating pattern can this give him more energy?
Avatar f tn Uhhm im personally not going throught depression but my mother was going through depression while pregnant with my brother and now he is very sensitive and same with my little sister... if you go through something really bad through your pregancy now your kids will feel the pain and they will go through the world depressed the best thing to do for pregnancy is just think happy thoughts and tey not thinking of all the bad stuff your going through...
1016204 tn?1251177138 I understand what your saying about the self esteem issues and kids feeling like they are different from the other children, like my son for instance, who, in my opinion never had ADD, but had a couple characteristics, and the immediate response from the school is ADD and medication. I understand teachers have it tough with overcrowded classrooms, and that kids like my son, who do not fall into the black and white catagory of what "they" consider the norm, end up paying a huge price.
Avatar f tn My little sister is 5 yrs old & one day out of no where she told me I was having a boy when I was like 2/3 months do u mom's believe that other little kids know what you're having?
Avatar f tn I'm due may 17th. I wanna see my little man so bad as well. I am in the same boat as you. And it drives me crazy.
1642158 tn?1305200716 But when we broke up, I made sure to fit right back in with them. I will admit it was a little awkard at first, and I felt bad becuase I didnt want them to think I only needed them when I was left alone after a break up. But I got my friendships back and I 100% know I wouldnt have gotten through this without them. I dont even talk about the break up with them that much...we just laugh at silly things and it gets my mind off of it.
Avatar f tn Lately, I have been having a definite increase in health issues. I have always had mild depression and anxiety that seem to get worse the week before my period. I have always had mild back pain, and always had mild issues with my sleep patterns. When I was 31 I hate to admit this but, I terminated a pregnancy, it screwed with my head so bad I've never been the same. Not to mention since I've been in my thirties though, my whole body seems to be going out of control.
Avatar m tn My wife and I were going to go away for a couple of days, grandma would be watching the kids. It fell through. I love my kids and at first I thought well maybe we're all supposed to get away for a few days. Then it started. Going downhill, in less than two hours I was thinking about walking out of church, sitting in my car and blowing my brains out. That I had no friends. God had abandoned me.
Avatar f tn I was just wondering if anyone had any advice... I'm 24 weeks and I feel so depressed alot. Depressed about the father not being there, being on my own, wondering if I could even raise a baby when I'm only 18 and never wanted to have kids... I still live at home, so I feel that everyone is going to get annoyed with the baby... I just need some reassuring advice..
Avatar f tn How do I know what my symptoms of depression is? I have a history of depression and I feel all that pain coming back again. I have no type of insurance and no money to see a doctor.
Avatar n tn I think depression can be a combination of things - both physical and emotional. I used to get mind blowing headaches, which was partly caused by my depression, and then because I had them, it made me feel emotionally worse. It's a nasty cycle. From what you've described, you've been under a ton of stress, getting married is up there in the stress meter! I know when I've been ill, which I went through recently, it sure made my mood drop.
