Thanks for your advise. My husband and I have been considering not having kids for some time now. Our current plan is no kids, but we are leaving the option open.
I'm sorry about your support system and the guilt. As far as the guilt you're right - you had no way of knowing. Hugs!  |
Thank you. I’m just around family that mental illness is taboo....stigma. But my daughters (20 and 11 years old) I can tell them I’m not doing well...I need some time alone. From the meds I just stay tired....but yet I need to take them. My 11 year old wants to go-go-go. Yet I’m ready for a nap. Lol. With the older two growing up with me....oh I had plenty energy but I was irritable all the time and moody (undiagnosed). It’s a big decision and you have time to decide as a couple.
