Answers:
oh i sympathise with you, been there but fortunately not done that (suicide)!. I don't have a child, it was actually the thought of my mum that stopped me, she done so much for me and at times she was depressed herself and i guess she held out for me so i suppose im seeing this from both angles!.

I imagine that you are probably finding things even more difficult than say myself, as having a child you are expected a greater responsibility to look after not only your self but a child too and that can mean you bottle up things!. Do you know what is causing the depression!? I mean sometimes it can some thing, person, situation, minor problems in your daily life that accumulate negative feelings and perhaps you just don't realise it!. Can you think how you could fix these problems!?
Isolation could be making you worse, do you have a good friend, family member to talk to!? Remember your GP is their for these problems too!.

It may not even be your life that's getting you down but an illness or even a chemical imbalance, even the weather , no exercise, bad lifestyle , too much work or low self esteem developed years earlier!.

Also, you may not realise it but i bet a lot of money that thousands of motherz, even soem you talk to, are feeling the same way sometimes!. Could you join a parents group!? You must be strong, i say that because you are putting your child first in your answer, so if your that selfless im guessing you will have the courage to seek help first from your doctor and secondly from trusted people, even help lines if you think it would help!. Good luck hun!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yea I've been through some horrible depressive episodes (currently in one now) and the same thing goes through my mind 24/7: "I want to die!. I want to die!. I want to die!." I've attempted in the past, many times, but my body is holding out here for some reason!. Unfortunately, or fortunately, for me!.

I've stopped an attempt because of my family as my thoughts were of a pretty grusome suicide!.

Depression can often lead to suicidal thoughts/ideation!. If you are thinking about suicide, seriously too, you need to seek help!. If you feel that you cannot keep yourself safe until you can get a doctors appointment go straight to the ER!.

Stay safe

No, because I don't have a child!.

You have answered your own question in a way - you have something to live for!. (or someone)!.

I nearly killed myself (not considered it, nearly damn well did it)!. For some reason that I don't understand I contacted the Samaritans!.

I'm still alive, and don't consider topping myself more than 5 times a day now!.

Good luck, and if you can find even the tiniest thing to smile about, then smile!.

Rent Joe Versus the Volcano!. Your world might need to change!. You can do it without killing yourself!. That movie changed my life as it made me aware that there were other possibilities to suicide - such as the ability to change yur own destiny by being brave enough to fight for it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i dont have children, but i have considered!. if you do go to a psychologist (not psychiatrist) i think its a waste of money!. its better if you take some time off and go chill out, smoke a ciggie if you smoke, and realy try to think about the meaning of life and different phylosophical things you never thought of before!. try reading some books!. hang around with your child and be their best friend!.

but under no circumstances dont accept any pills from your doctor!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi xAdele~
My Mother did try to kill herself!. I was in my late 20's still living at home with Dad and her!. She had a medical condition, that she kept to herself and never told my father or I about!.
I too have serious depression and anxiety due to medical reasons!. The depression can come from so many reasons~ not just psychological either like so many people think!. My depression came from my having seizures and intensified when I got Fibromyalgia, that's when the anxiety became bad too!.
So what Im telling you is if your really this depressed~ please for your self, go to the doctors!. There are several medications out there!. If the first one doesn't help, tell the dr!.!.!.and try another one!. I have had to try 4 or 5 until I found what really works for me!.!.!.and as my symptoms changed, my medicine also had to change!.
I don't have children, I chose not to due to my health!. So I cant answer from that viewpoint!.
Hope some of this helps you!.
good-luck~
