Struggling

[Depressedmommy21]

Physically and mentally drained , depression is back. I’m sick of feeling like a burden I just want this pain to end. My medicine seems to be making my moods 10x worse. Struggling to maintain a healthy relationship with my fiancé I just feel like I’m spiraling out of control. Having panic attacks at work and this is my only outlet I can’t talk to anyone.

Is it possible that you need a different medication? Maybe have a talk with your Dr.

I hear you and feel for you...let me know if I can help in any way...

All the best for you...

My pleasure...could you possibly be battling postpartum depression...I did not once but twice..not an easy battle but you can get through it even if it's not that...you can do this...First off believe in you and know the power you have..then force only positive thoughts into your mind...it will breed more positive as negative does the same..so go with the positive....

I wish for you peace of mind...

Have you started your medicine now? If so, the effects will go away in some weeks. Either way, call your doctor, explain how you feel, ask about why you are feeling this. Can you open it with your fiancé? Maybe if you talk he/she can support you better. I had those panic attacks at work, and i had to quit it. It reduced a lot of the stress but not the depression. What i did to get better was get distracted 100% of the time with movies, games, books, internet, anything that helped me escape a little. Hope you get better soon!

I’ve been on the same medication for over a year and it’s making things worse now I was okay for awhile.

Maybe talk to your dr about the meds. I’ve also recently realized the more I focus on my anxiety the longer it hangs out or stays. Have you a support network of friends/family? Hobbies that you love? How about diet, exercise?

Sorry for all the questions just thinking about what I’ve done that seems to help.

We are all here for you!

My heart goes out to you. I spend 25 years in a depressive suicidal state and medication only made things worse. Have you seen a therapist? I commend you for getting on here and telling your story and reaching out. I didn’t have that option when I was going through it and I learned later on that talking about it helped me so much. Are there any groups around that you could join? A lot of moms out there feel the same way and struggle to get back to a healthy mental state after having kids. I am praying for you and hope you find the help you need. -Rachel
