was diagnosed with depression early last year.. i only sought treatment after i tried to hurt myself.. with bad thoughts (on daily basis) on how to carry out plan.
things got better for me and i was able to function and start feeling better about myself again. was off meds early this year.
been having problems with my unborn baby's father (my bf).. sought help again when i felt everything was too much for me again to handle on my own.
was diagnosed with depression on my last visit this week. with no meds because of my pregnancy.
the week before, I've had a fleeting thought.. things would be better if I just... and the thought was gone. I didn't want to slip more into depression.
today, another thought that scared me.. I'm only living for this baby. I feel so bad for thinking this way. I tried to think it away and sleep a bit.
I need to wish this thought would go away like the earlier one.. I know its the depression talking.
i don't want to go back thinking these thoughts like i did before last year.. but i can't help it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I wish things were going better for you. You are in my thoughts.
Have you done any networking with other pregnant/parenting moms?
I just moved back to my hometown (living with sis) after 12 years being away.
There are safe meds that can be taken. PLease see your doctor and enquire. I found the longer I left it, the worse it got. With all the hormone changes, the depression can take over.
I hope you talk to someone hun and take care of yourself.
