Won’t ever fit into that working mom category. I’m ok with all that. But does anyone feel less valued at work because of not being married and having kids?

Anyone lose their periods because of an ssri? Stress/anxiety/depression?

I sometimes do feel less valued. I'm a teacher and I'm one of the youngest teachers. I am married but don't have kids. I teach kids all day.

Also, my periods are sparatic. I am on birth control and it sends me all over. I often times skip. I am almost certain that ok have depression because of my birth control. Ugh.

Your body might be reacting to the added hormones in the birth control.. estrogen, I think?

When I was raising my children in the '80's-'90's I was an at-home mom. I felt that my friends looked down on me some for not being a "career woman."

Yes, the SSRI's definitely used to affect my periods. They would often be several days late, especially when I was on a new SSRI.
