I don't really know how to start this. This is my first time so bare with me. I am here because I have no one else to talk to. I am a 22 year old girl with a 4 year old and I am going through some things that my family doesn't understand.My biological father dies and in the same year I got pregnant. After I had my child I know I suffered from postpartum depression.As the years went on I learned how to "deal" with it. I learned how to hide it from my family, because in our culture, we dont believe in depression or any other illness. But as my child is getting older and my responsibilities are getting heavier and as a single parent I really dont know how to cope anymore.I cant sleep, Im gaining weight, Im starting to feel how I felt when I first had my child and the only difference this time is I cant hide it anymore. Its starting to show and people are starting to ask me questions on my mood, and instead of that making me feel better its just getting worse. I just thought maybe by coming on here it would give me a chance to better deal with this situation. I am in a sense alone, boyfriends have failed, and it is hard to find someone right to bring around my child. This is not the life I want for my child. I was just wondering if there is anybody who went through this and has beat it.

Hello & Welcome, MissJenni89!

Does your situation allow you to seek professional medical help? In any case, it is important to get a thorough medical check to learn if there are other problems accompanying the depression. Also, self-help is an option, and you can find many depression resources online. PsychCentral Depression Resources Please keep posting.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
