Hi Laurie, I can really relate to your issues with unhappiness. I keep telling myself that once I lose this weight, I will be a happier person, but the truth is that I am heavier because I am unhappy! I need to find happiness first and

(((Laurie)))... I'm sorry you are going through this... I suffer with mild depression as well... I was medicated for some time (after DD1 was born... they called it post post-pardum... mind you she was 9 months old at this time), but then when I got pregnant w/ DD2, I was off meds and I haven't been back on them since.

Hi Laurie ~

I am sending prayers and hugs your way. I have also fought with depression, and most recently anxiety... I know it affects my DH and DD's:( I am currently on prozac for the depression, but I am trying to figure out what to do about the anxiety..

We are going through so much right now, 2 incomes down to 1 (sahm now with 20 mth old), my hubby just quit his state job 6 months ago and went into Real Estate. I am so proud of him and excited about our future, but... it is commission ONLY, and no benefits, so we are on Basic Health at the moment. So, needless to say, money is a huge issue right now, and so we put our house on the market on top of everything else we are going through. We need the equity out of the house, and with the baby we are growing out of it anyway. I am praying we will make it through this:)

You will be ok. You are making a great step in the right direction:)

Talk to you soon,
Jenn:)

Hi Laurie, I will definately check out that anxiety board, and will be asking my doctor about the AD and what would also help this new anxiety to go away! I wanted to just note on your comment about your girls and wondering about the 2nd one, and I felt EXACTLY the same way, before and after! My toddler is absolutely one of the best decisions we have ever made! But my whole pregnancy, I kept wondering if it was possible to love a 2nd child as much.. I was wrong, she is my angel!

We will get through this.. Thank you for the support and let me know if you ever need to talk...
