....I am 26 years young and a mother to 3 boys Tyler 5 ADHD, Zachary 16 mos, and my last baby Kyle 4 mos. Also wife to Jason. I am so happy I found this board. I went to my docs today and he put me on Zoloft. By the way here is a little history on me. I was diagnosed with severe depression at the age of 17. I was in a horrific motorcycle accident which brought on PTSS (post traumatic stress syndrome) which then led to severe depression. During this time I got into a lot of stuff which I am so ashamed to even talk about..i.e...drugs. Well I have been drug free since I was 20. Woohooo!! I had my first son at 21. He changed my whole life around. Needless to say he was a Godsend. I was on Prozac and Zesteril for 3 years. I quit them when I got pregnant. Since then I have been blessed with 3 beautiful boys and a loving husband. I never thought I would sink in this deep hole ever again. Well....I'm here. It sucks. I know I have been bleesed with 3 healthy children and that alone should be enough to make anyone happy. But It's not that I'm not happy, it's just I feel sad all the time. Our second child was a surprise to us. But then he was only 3 mos old and I found out I was pregnant with our 3rd son. That really hit me hard. I love them all dearly but it is so much to handle. Kyle (our 4 mos old) was born by emergancy C-Section beacause he was breech. Within 1 week of being home I was back in the hosp. because my BP was 181/120. I stayed there for a week and a half. I had every possible heart related test done. Nothing. Then I had to have a heart catheterazation . That really hit home at the seriousness of it. Still nothing. Well I am on 2 meds a day for my BP. Then New Years Day I had an appendicitis. That went to a laproscopic appendectomy which had numerous complications with. I'm just worn out with it all. My doc had put me on Lexepro in mid december. It made me feel like a walking zombie. That is not what I needed to feel like to take care of my babies. I started the Zoloft today and hopefully it will help. Thanks for listing to me this long. Big hugs to everyone here!
