No kids as of yet, not sure if I could do it honestly. I'm still young though, mid twenties. Kudos to all of you that are understanding and loving parents, you are all so brave!

I have no children, despite being married for about 20 years. It just wasn't in the cards for my husband and I. We didn't even try. I wasn't even thinking about a family, other than a very passing thought, through my early 30s despite being married at 26. I was too career oriented, and hypomanic most of the time.

At 34, the very worst years of my bipolar started with full blown manias, many with mixed features and psychosis. The very worst lasted four years ending in a long severe depression. Then for a few additional years I had other significant mental health issues. I've been on disability for seven years now, and was off and on long-term disability for the four years prior. I am still not in a place where I could reduce my medications to the point of safely getting pregnant. I am also still not in a mental state or financial situation to even consider having them. Not having children does not sadden me like it would many women. My husband is even less interested. To top it all off, I'm almost 47 years old now and my husband is almost 60. That's it.

No
I cannot have kids. I am an ovarian cancer survivor.
I had gone to the doctor to have kids as a single parent but instead i was told that my ovaries were cancerous.
People judge me for being single and childless and each time they do, i want to cry out loud. People can be very insensitive

I have one son, he is seven. My husband and I planned on having more but I became symptomatic again. Then he died so I guess it doesn’t matter anyway. I don’t ever want another child; there’s no way I could survive without meds and no way I could survive infancy again. I hope if I end up with someone again that they understand that.

One daughter turning 21 in Feb. Not sure what to think about that

She has depression and anxiety, yet she is resilient and caring to her friends.

I had a total hysterectomy and am in my fifties, plus my husband and I have a laundry list of medical issues, so no more kiddos for us.
Thanks for this!

No. Kids aren't for me. I don't have patience for them, or endurance for that matter. Plus I am not physically able to procreate anyway.
