    • About Me

      I just got married in August and we are expecting. My husband is in the military and I moved half-way across the country to be with him. My first child is due in March and this whole experience has been very stressful for me.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      At 30, I'm expecting my first baby. I was never suppost to be able to have children, so you can imagine my suprise when soon after my wedding day I found out I was pregnant. I've had lifelong issues with depression which I thought were under control. However, within the last year my life has changed dramatically, and I'm not coping too well. My doctor recently put me on medication to help me balance out. We'll see how well it works.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      I was on it last year for several months. When I felt better, I choose to stop taking the meds.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      Prescribed to me during teen years.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I've been in and out of therpy since I was in middle school. I believe it's one of the best things to help me understand what is going on with me, so I can get better and cope with daily routines.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My family and friends make it all worth it.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      WHen I'm upset...I write. It doesn't usually solve anything...but at least I get it out.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      I have only been on Zoloft for a month. I believe it is helpful... but I still have good and bad days. My doctor just increased my dosage so I'll let you know if that works.
