Depressed and living in despair
| Wed, 03-23-2011 - 5:36pm |
I'm 39, married (1.5 years) with a six year old girl (from previous marriage) and a six month old son. I don't know if I'm dealing with residual PPD, but for months my mood has been so black. I don't recall feeling as dark as I do at any other time in my life.
We have a wonderful Depression board here. I would encourage you to stop by and get some support from others who are dealing with similar feelings: http://forums.ivillage.com/t5/Depression-Support/ct-p/iv-bhdepression
If you're having suicidal thoughts, please consider contacting the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-784-2443 or 1-800-273-8255.

Hello Amber,
I am the community leader for the Depression Support board here on iVillage.
Maybe join a local moms group too so you have an outlet.
((hugs))
