I went to the doctor today for my depression because I just couldn't deal with it anymore. I started thinking about death and I kept seeing images of really gross scary things whenever i'd close my eyes. Example: last night when I layed down to go to bed, I closed my eyes and I saw a trashcan full of ice skates and on the blade part of the skates there were bloody chunks of hair and scalp. Like someone had jabbed all the ice skates into someones head. Now isn't that pretty messed up?? So I went to the doctor and told him how I was feeling. I also haven't been able to sleep at night for the past few weeks. It takes me 2 1/2 - 3 hours to fall asleep, and then once I finally get to sleep, I wake up a bunch of times during the night. So I finally got on some anti-depressants. He put me on zoloft. Now that brings me to a question, but i'm going to list all my questions at the end, because I have a lot.

This is kinda gross, but yesterday this kinda stringy blood tinged stuff started coming out. It was kinda like how it was when I lost my mucus plug when I was pregnant. It's like mostly clear, but it has a little bit of blood in it too. Then, today when I got back from the doctor's office, I had to pee and when I went into the bathroom I noticed I had like a rusty colored blood in my panties. I haven't had any cramps at all or anything to indicate to me that it's my period. Could something be wrong with me? Or is that how your period is after a baby? It's like super super super super light if it is. It's like not even there basically. It's like I don't even have to wear anything for it.

So here are my questions:
will zoloft effect my birth control pills?
Is it ok to wear tampons again this soon after having ethan?
Do you think that stuff is actually my period?
Is it ok to take sleeping pills with anti-depressants? And would they effect my birth contorl at all?

Yeah, I was depressed before I had ethan. I don't have any pictures right now because the batteries in my digital camera died. So I have to buy some more before I can take any more pictures Sad

I am sorry that you are going through so much right now, if you ever need someone to talk to and you cant get to a doctor I want you to know that I may not always have all the answers but I am here for you. Suicide is not the answer. Have you ever seen how much that hurts the people around that person it kills them. My ex boyfriend overdosed from heroin. His parents found him with the needle in his arm. What would you do if you walked in on ethan like that??

First question... You told the doctor that you are having trouble sleeping right??? Ask him if maybe he can switch you over to paxil... That is supposed to help you if you are having problems sleeping... Also ask him about kalonopin... I forgot how to spell it.. Thats a time released sleeping aid... But tell him you are on bc too.....And if there are any drug interactions with that...

No, I wasn't on any medications...But I was depressed. I had been for about 2 years. I just never got help for it. I felt too embarrassed to talk to anyone about it. And yes I have anxiety too. I feel like I always have to be doing something, and I feel like i'm rushed all the time no matter what, even if I don't have anything to do. Today the doctor said that's probably why I can't sleep at night. I seem to find myself either keeping myself up by crying or by thinking about things. I even try to help myself and say to myself, "clear your mind, you have to sleep now." now all of this is starting to make sense though. Maybe i'm really not pregnant and my period just hasn't come since i'm so stressed and my anxiety level is so high. And maybe the reason i've been so tired isn't because i'm pregnant, it's because i'm depressed and have no energy. I was too blind to see it before. Now I see it though. Before I got pregnant, I was depressed...And I remember a couple of times my period was really light. So maybe this is just an extreme version of what happened then. Maybe that's why i'm not really bleeding.

Hey blu,
paxill does not effect bc- I would have like 12 kids lol it does help to take it at night because it makes people sleepy-- thats when I take it- I will say my prayers for you k-- I know in time you too will get throough this k keep your head up - just remember how much ethan needs you! Is there any you can talk too? Friends family? Besides us? I know that sometimes its hard to talk to someone but once you do you feel so much better-- I am also taking st. Johns wort to help me it seems to be doing some good -- and also valerian its a vitamin to help people sleep and relieve stress too--it smells like feet dirty feet but you can plug your nose- hope this helps and I hope you post some pictures soon!!!!

Thanx. Maybe i'll try some of those too. This is totally off topic, but my dad just got home and said he got into a wreck. Now here's the weird thing, I used to have a recurring dream about this one particular stop sign and my brakes on my car failing and me getting into a crash. The other day when I had my wreck, it was at that same stop sign, but it wasn't because my brakes failed. Then a few minutes ago my dad came home and said he had gotten into a wreck and when I asked him where at....It was at the same stop sign I wrecked at! Both of us wrecked at the same stop sign within 3 days of each other and we live in the same house! Isn't that weird???

Hey

I was on paxil for right at 2 years.....It worked great for a long time.... Then I gained like 30 pounds after like 2 years on it!!!!!!!! It causes weight gain after long-term use! Now, I am on prozac. But I plan on asking him to change it to zoloft cuz my friend likes that better and I am still really depressed on prozac.

Will zoloft effect my birth control pills? No I was on it before so I know
is it ok to wear tampons again this soon after having ethan? I think you can after 8 weeks
do you think that stuff is actually my period? Probably, it will be kinda funny for a few months.
Is it ok to take sleeping pills with anti-depressants? And would they effect my birth contorl at all? Sleeping pill shouldnt effect your birth control. I think you can take them but id check.

This is really nasty, but that mucus stuff stopped last night and this morning it did too, but then just a few minutes ago I had a gush of blood come out. I put a tampon in, but after the gush it had stopped again. This is getting so irritating because I can't wear a tampon if i'm not bleeding, and I ran out of panty liners! Grr. I hope this is my period, but it's getting on my nerves when it stops and starts and stops and starts. This was the first time I had any significant amount of blood tho. Hopefully it either stays this way or goes away. I'm just tired of it starting and stoping! It's so frustrating!
