No, you can't really look to an infant to make your depression go away. That's putting a big burden on that little bundle. And that doesn't even touch postpartum depression, which can be really bad.

Your depression may be lifted temporarily, but your husband is right that you need to maintain your care. Things to watch out for like hormonal changes, mood changes, will mean you need to be Extra watchful of yourself because you have the life of a little one in your hands, not just your own.

And @ 22, you are still really young. Getting married changes your life, but having a child REALLY changes your life. It is a bigger commitment than marriage if you ask me.

I wish you only the best of luck as you go forward...
