    • Close Depression
      : Clinical (Major) Depression

      I am 38...almost 39...had a miscarriage in Feb.2009 and my husband committed suicide in May 2009. Totally lost, helpless and not sure how to go on. Thought I'd never get married...finally accepted the 3rd proposal from him! Married 3 years and one week...tried every month to conceive. Happiest day of our lives when we found out we were pregnant...only for it to be over less than 2 weeks later.

      Treatments

      Prozac Working / Worked
      Was working well before my husband killed himself in front of me. Know not so sure...to hard to determine the grief from the depression
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      They are wonderful!! Wouldnt be here if it werent for them! But I wear a mask for I dont want them to worry so I act happy and like everything is fine...when in reality...its far from fine.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Every week...standing appointment. Wear a mask there too...everything is fine except its not.
    • Close Families & Friends Affected By Suicide

      Husband killed himself in front of me after a three day drinking binge and played Russian roulette with his gun. Had he actually intended to kill himself...the gun would have been loaded.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I hide behind a mask and just say things are fine...too many emotions to pinpoint at any one given time
      Talking Working / Worked
      Friends and family are keeping me sane and so far, it is working...but I don't always tell them the truth about how I'm feeling. I don't want them to worry. I just go through the motions.
