Just curious.....I take it you are not pregnant at this time after you found out you were last September.........have you been able to process that situation. I know for many women, it causes serious depression even when having a baby would have been at a very bad time in life. The loss of the life & all the hormone's that go along with it definitely NEED TO BE PROCESSED & therapy definitely is a good place to start.

Know we can try to rationalize those feelings away.....but there is really NO DENYING that when a woman is pregnant & for whatever reason does not have the baby.....even when they are like me with NO MOTHERLY INSTINCTS.....it has it's depressive effects on our emotions whether we are try to deny it or not.

Know you haven't commented on that since the bleeding you mentioned in one of your posts & with not knowing where your depression is coming from.....it was just a few pieces of the puzzle that seemed like they might fit in my mind.

It's good to see that things are working out for you.....but it's also important to be able to process those things that have a huge effect on our emotions so that things like the ED don't take over again. The DBT group I have been going to for the last year has really helped me be aware & much more observant of all the possible things that can effect my emotions & my distress level & be able to help my self get through the worst times along with trying to put my emotional mind & logical mind together to best solve the problems that hit me that tend to cause the issues that send me into major struggles.

We can't be that strong person unless the foundation we are building that strength on is stable & strong itself.....without the skills necessary to build that strong foundation & help repair the cracks......we continue to struggle rather than be that strong rock we expect out of ourselves.

Sending you huge 's & lots of caring
