COULD I BE SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION?!


Question: COULD I BE SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION?
wow.. the story of my life is too long to post on this .. but im going to hit some important points of it.. i just turned 22 years old and ever since i was a little girl i always thought i was never important to anyone.. that no one cared about me and it didnt matter if i was alive or not.. when i was 14 i wanted to kill myself because i wasnt getting along with my mom and my bf wanted to leave me .. as i grew older i thought that all those feelings had gone away and just lately im doubting it... well recently(3 months ago) i became pregnant from my best friend which im in love with but cant be with because he has a gf, so we decided not to have the baby (please dont judge), there was a part of me that honestly didnt want to do it but i went thru with it anyways .. and this has changed my life forever, i feel unhappy, i sometimes think how it was so wrong and selfish of me to take my baby's life away .. i blame myself n cry myself to sleep... this whole situation is harder than i thought it would be.. i also think sometimes what if i would have kept it.. maybe it would have brought a little bit of happiness and joy to my life.. i know i may sound like a hypocrite for saying all of this but i honestly wish i havent had the abortion but now its too late :-( my bestfriend went about his life normally with his gf and we still talk and we are close but i feel like it doesnt hurt him as much as it hurts me .. also the fact that he has a gf and is living his life normally hurts .. i no longer want to care about none of this because it honestly isn't letting me live my life to the fullest or in peace and i want to find a way not to care about anything.. i no longer want to hurt for anything .. i'dont want to feel ... and idk if im suffer from depression ..i've cried myself to sleep way too many times.. i was actually cryin while writing this post.. i wanna be able to talk to someone that is willing to listen .. i mean i do have friends but i dont want to annoy ppl with the same old thing .. i feel like no one loves me and that no on understands me .. by the way i live alone and that doesnt help at all .. PLEASE HELP!!! :'-(

Honey, I would suggest for you to see a therapist. Since you took the time to write all of that.. I WOULD say that you would have depression. I do understand you even though I've never gone through that. I,myself, HATE when people don't understand me... but I got though that by TURNING MY WHOLE LIFE THE OTHER WAY. Instead of worrying about others... I just took care of myself. Don't care about someone that doesn't care about you. Don't give them the time of day! Kill them with kindness. GO FIND SOMEONE GOOD FOR YOU! :) But I DO understand you... and don't think about how you took your baby's life away. Think about it as a favor for that fetus and how that life would have turned out bad instead of when your actual baby... which will hopefully have a WONDERFUL LIFE. :) Stay strong.



YES

IT BEHOOVES YOU TA GET DOSED WITH WELLBUTRIN!



Something like an abortion can be very emotionally damaging. I understand that. And as hard as it may be, you should try not to regret it. There's no use in dwelling on the past, especially if there's absolutely no way for you to change it.
And who knows - it may have been good, but it may have ruined your life.
I suggest you see a therapist - they really do help, (if you want to be helped,) and they always listen. They don't judge because they are used to hearing peoples' problems, and I'm sure yours is not the worst!
Best of luck!



You definitely do sound depressed. Everyone goes through this at one point in their life, especially if they've been through a lot of stress like you have. I went through depression too. What I did to get through it is to see a therapist. A therapist/councilor can help you talk through your issues and give you some tools to get better. If you don't want to try therapy, at least go to the library and get a book on depression. The only way you'll feel better about your life is if you work to change it. I know you can do it because you've already taken the first step-admitting you have a problem. Don't forget to keep yourself busy with activities you enjoy, try to do some relaxation techniques, eat right/exercise, and don't give up on yourself! Good luck!



I think that you should go to a councilor so that they can help you with anything that you have wrong in your life. Also you should go and explore your mind. Instead of crying try to find a hobby or something that you like to do that will take your mind off of everything and every problem that you are having.



I think you are really smart to have had the abortion because from your letter and your condition, you were not ready to raise a child healthy and free of painful experiences as you are experiencing now. Good for you to take care of those important things. Now you need to take care of yourself. See your doctor tomorrow at the latest and tell him you want to speak to a therapist. Anyone who has gone through what you went through with having an abortion needs help to deal with the guilt. I have no regrets for my abortion and please remember it is the only thing you could do considering all the uncertainties in your life. I still feel for what I did but I now know it was the best to make my life work before bringing on new little people in our crazy world. Good luck and please remember that I do admire your courage.
