For Those of You Who Have Suffered Through depression……I Have a Question…?
Question by punchy333: For those of you who have suffered through depression……I have a question…?
I was diagnosed with depression about 2 months ago, but have had it at least 6 months now. I am also in my 9th month of pregnancy- to make hormonal matters worse. I was wondering if anyone had intrusive thoughts about your spouse (whomever) not loving you. It feels like it runs through my head every day, although there are no real “signs” of his loss of love. Sometimes, it’s hard to decipher certain reasons for situations when I’m plagued with the thought that he doesn’t love me anymore. So sometimes, like right now, I’m beginning to believe it and I’m not sure if it’s justified. Has anyone else ever dealt with this??
I think most of this is contributed by the fact that we live over 2,000 miles away from any family because of our military lifestyle for the last 3 years. Out here in the good ‘ol Mojave. I’m 23, and we already have a 2 year old boy- never had any problems like this when I was pregnant with him. I do remember feeling fat, etc. but I knew I’d feel better about it when it was over.
The few “friends” I did have here moved away last year, so the only person I really talk to *is* my husband. (I was never really close to my family, and for good reason.) We don’t know anyone well enough to watch our son, and he has certain medical problems that I wouldn’t want to impose on anybody anyways, so we have not had a night out together in over 2 years. There’s just a lot to work with here, and I think I’m hitting my breaking point.
I have tried Celexa, but that made me completely nuts- I couldn’t drive, so now I’m about to try Lexapro and I’m so scared to do it.

Well by what I can sense, your ability to feel his love is diminished by your depressive thoughts. Give it some time, and keep busy doing something interesting.
