Hi everyone,

I'm new here and I have been struggling with the loss of my dad who past away in March this year.

I was diagnosed with postnatal depression when my daughter was a couple of months old and it got worse when she was forcibly adopted against my wishes back in the spring of 2003 when she was between 6 and 8 months old.

It was made even worse last October when my dad was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and it became worse when my dad died in March this year.

My doctor increased my sertraline from 50mg to 100mg laat October and I have been on the same dosage for almost year now.

The gentleman on the left of my profile picture is my brother and the gentleman who is next to my brother is our late dad.

My profile banner is a photo of my dad.

That's nice you have a brother, who also understands what you are going through - you do share your emotions with him? Any, way very nice and are you married or looking for someone? Wishing you the best and sorry for your loss.
