Depression
Posted: 01-03-08 23:21pm

Alright I feel really stupid asking this but I know several girls on here have been fighting this lately so I thought I'd post. I'm going to the doctor soon for a full physical and such since I haven't been for awhile and I was wondering if I should bring up some stuff with her. I sometimes think I'm suffering from depression but I don't want to go tell the doctor that and have her laugh at me because i don't know what I'm talking about or something. I dunno.. Anyways I've been getting very irritated lately at the littlest things, I cry at things I didn't used to like tv shows and when someone says something that I manage to twist around in my head, I just feel like I don't want to do anything at all and i'm always exhausted, I worry about everything, and I set up these horrible scenarios (sp?!) in my head..for example, if bac is not home from work on time I get myself believing that he has had a horrible wreck and I even think about if he died in the wreck and its gets quite elaborate almost to the point of making me cry or if Brayden is sleeping really long I start thinking I'm going to walk in there and find him dead and just really bad things like that. So I don't know if its just my emotions out of whack or if it really is something I should bring up with my doctor. What do you guys think? Is it worth mentioning?

I think you should definitely bring this up to your doctor. They will not laugh at you for this!! If you're concerned, then it's something that should be discussed with your doctor.
I know hormones can play games with you for quite awhile after having a baby. So yes, I'd take the opportunity to talk to your doctor about this! Good luck, and feel free to talk/vent about whatever....no need to feel stupid! We're all human, and most of us can probably relate to many things!

look honey i know what your going through
i was TERRIFIED to bring it up to anyone that i needed help. i hed it n for so long and it got worse. you dont need to be scared
you need help. we all need a little help sometimes. for the sake of yourself and your loved ones you need to seek it. even if you dont want it, you need to before it progresses.
after i talked to my dr i felt so much better knowing that i was strong enough to admit i needed help and to get it. and you really do feel beter after talking about it.

i hope your ok
please pm me if you need it
