    • About Me

      I am a wife and mother of a beautiful 10 year old daughter. I want to do a many things with my life, but depression holds me back! Having episodes of depression makes me feel miserable, sad, unworthy, guilty, and gives me so much fatigue. I wish it would go away so that I can go on with my life. Sometimes I feel I can manage it, but most of the time I struggle.

    • Interests

      I love to paint, draw, take photographs of interesting things, listen to music, go camping, biking, go for walks, and spend time with my husband and daughter. I like to do these things when I am not depressed, but even if I am depressed, I try my best to do some of these things.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Post Partum Depression

      I believe I started suffering from depression after giving birth to my daughter. I got on medication for only about 1 year and decided to stop because I felt they weren't helping and I was scared of long term side effects. I've suffered from depression for about 10 years now and I am tired of it. I don't have anyone in my family who truly understands what I'm going through. I would love to hear from other people and see how they are coping with depression.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I have to remind myself that I have to live for my daughter who loves me. That helps me a lot.
      Prozac Not Working
      I did not see any improvements in my condition. Maybe I stopped them too soon. I did not like the side effects.
      Support from Friends & Family Not Working
      Does not work. My family doesn't understand because they aren't going through what I am going through. They think it is all in my head. My depression keeps me back from having friends. I feel I am not worthy to them.
      Writing Working / Worked
      After I feel better, I read what I wrote while I was depressed and I feel silly. I throw what I wrote away and start a new beginning.
      Zoloft Not Working
      I did not see any difference in my condition. Maybe I stopped it too soon.
    • Close Infidelity

      sophy2 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.
    • Open Anxiety

      Along with depression I have anxiety.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      I tell myself it will pass.
    • Open Phobia

      I have a strong fear of all animals. When they get close to me, my heart beats faster and sometimes I feel I will have a panic attack.
