A few things.
First, taking care of a child is HARD. I can't even imagine. Don't be so harsh on yourself. Yes, make sure the child is taken care of. But in order to that you need to take care of YOU too. There's nothing wrong with that. Can you get a sitter, is there a family member who can help out in this tough time? Second, I too am sensing some tension in your relationship with your husband. I think you need to have a talk. Its hard to be depressed, and it's hard to live with someone who's depressed. And calling you an irresponsible mother can't help either of you. " I know I should be better " Should is over rated. You ARE. Focus on what IS and what you WANT things to become. things can get better.

You're in crisis and need immediate help. Talk to your GP as soon as you possibly can and get the help you need.
It may be that you need an antidepressant, or some other medication to help you to stabilise. Avoiding your husband will only cause more of a confrontation when you meet at the end of the day. Tell him you need help, ask him to support you with it so that you can do your very best to get through it. You can and will take care of your daughter, you just couldn't go pick her up. But please, please get help. Don't let your life turn out like mine...I live like the boy in the bubble never going out of my house...it's no life (I'm ok with it, but its not good for my family)...and I don't think its a healthy thing to give in to. I'm sorry I ever did.. Good Luck, Rhiannon |

Samantha10101,
I'm sorry to hear that your depression is as severe as it is. It sounds like you're doing the best that you can to try to live your life and take care of your child, but you don't seem to be benefiting much from the treatment that you're receiving. I agree with the other members who recommended contacting your doctor. The treatment of depressive disorders unfortunately involves a lot of trial and error, but I do think that it is possible that you can eventually find a treatment that will help you feel like yourself again. It took me four years after first presenting myself for treatment to find a treatment that put my depressive symptoms into remission. Unfortunately, I later had some problems with the treatment that brought me relief and went on to develop schizoaffective disorder, but those are different issues. My point is that even though finding the right treatment for a depressive illness can be difficult, some people do manage to find treatment that works well for them. I wish you the best of luck in finding something that works for you, and I'm sorry that you're suffering so much. Tomatheus |

 I hope you have called your doctor and your therapist by now. Maybe a meds change and a good therapy session will help. Please take care of yourself. |

I just wanted to let everyone know that I contacted the doctor yesterday and left a message for him about everything that is going on. So far no word from him. I guess I will have to give him another ring. The good thing is that I am feeling better today. Thanks to everyone for all the support!!
