I'm really sad and depressed, and I need someone to talk to?!


Question: I'm really sad and depressed, and I need someone to talk to?
my depression is due to custody w/ my son whom I no longer have custody of... I feel like a piece of my soul has been chipped away everyday since he's been gone. I will have to take a psychological evaluation in order to get my son back, and I am now really concerned about that. I currently see a therapist whom I am very open w/, and have discussed everything from day 1 and she stated last session that she doesn't think it's necessary to keep seeing me and that we are done. The reason why I am concerned is because I'm afraid they will use the results of a psychological evaluation against me in court because yes I am depressed, but it has to do w/ my son being gone, and before that I was depressed for being in a abusive relationship for so long. All of this has made me realize that my son is more important to me than any man, and that I shouldn't be w/ him solely because he's my son's father. I'm so worried about the psychological evaluation...

Answers:

Sweetie, i'm so sorry! I can't even begin to imagine the stress you're under & the pain you must feel being away from your son. I'm going to give you advice based on my own experiences. The best thing you can do is be honest in that psychological evaluation. DO NOT try to cover up or lie because they are trained to know if you are & they've done enough evaluations to tell if someone is trying to cover up. NO judge is going to keep your son from you because you're suffering from depression. It would be against the law because it's discrimination. What is going to matter to the judge is that you've sought adequate treatment & that your depression is being managed by a professional. If you can get a letter from your therapist to show the judge that would be great. Don't try to deny that you suffer from depression, but explain why you're depressed & what you're doing to manage it. Be open & honest about the abusive relationship, but also point out all of the positive things in your life & what you can offer your son. If you feel like you still need the support of a therapist by all means let them know. If, for some reason the judge doesn't let you have your son (which is unlikely) you may need your therapist to fall back on. Please...be honest when you do that psychological evaluation. I know because i've been in your shoes. It is going to impress the judge more if he knows you suffer from depression, but that you are getting treatment for it. Just because a mother suffers from depression doesn't mean that's grounds to take their child away. Actually, the opposite is true. It's important for someone who suffers from depression to seek treatment just as you would for a physical ailment. Medication & therapy can be very good treatments for depression. Trying to persuade the judge that you're not depressed will only backfire. Show him that you're doing something about it & that you're stable enough to care for your son. If you need someone to talk to i'm here. I would love to hear how things turn out for you. I'll pray for you & keep you & your son in my thoughts. Good luck hon!! Stay strong for your little boy. I can tell you love him dearly & he needs you just as much as you need him.



Dear,
you should gather up, collect your peaces.
ther's no problem that hasn't got a sulution.
Try to distract yourself sometimes (go out withyour friends , have fun )
and other times it's better to let your tears shead on a friend's shoulder.
every person in this world can feel depressed, but in the court you should be stong, confident, smily. even in your life try being strong, accept advice, and open up to people when you feel the need to.
All the best



You will always love your son.. The best thing you can do is make yourself busy and do as much for yourself as possible. Your life will evolve and your son will still be there. Make yourself proud of yourself. Your son will always love you and you him...



I'm so sorry you are going through a tough time, maybe you could possible explain to your therapist that you still might need to see her for a while until you start feeling better
I'm here if you need someone else to speak to



Have faith in yourself and your abilities to care for your son. Count on your recent evaluation by your therapist and believe in it. That will show well for you.



Ecstasy is our very nature; not to be ecstatic is simply unnecessary. To be ecstatic is natural, spontaneous. It needs no effort to be ecstatic, it needs great effort to be miserable. That's why you look to tired, because misery is really hard work; to maintain it is really difficult, because you are doing something against nature.
