It is postpartem depression - one of my friends actually told me she would think about crazy things like throwing her baby in the fireplace or out the kitchen window and lord knows she would have never, ever done anything like that but for whatever reason she just had these crazy scenarios pop into her head. She didnt get locked up and they of course didnt take her baby away, and medication totally helped her. This is sooooo common as strange as it might sound to some people - and doctors know all about it.

Besides, NO ONE can lock you up for thinking things inside your head no matter how weird, sick, or strange they are. You know right from wrong anyway, and I know you would never do any of the things that you might sometimes think about.

Please, please go and get help immediately - even if you have to go to the ER. This is a very common, very serious, and very treatable thing to take care of and you will be sooo glad when you do. It sucks being that miserable and if taking a little pill for a couple of months will help, the risk of putting yourself out there is tremendously worth feeling better.

GO TO A DOCTOR......WE ARE NOT DOCTORS THIS MIGHT BE SERIOUS AND CAN BE TALKED OVER IN THERAPY

They won't take your baby away unless you tell them you want to kill her. Just go to to the doctor. Could you forgive yourself if something happened to her because you were too busy being depressed and weren't looking?

I'm not a deoctor but it sounds to me like a chemical imbalance that is quite common. There's a good chance that a simple medecine will change your world greatly for the better.

Please do go and see a doctor.

Don't let it ruin everything for you.

you do have postnatal depression
see your dr asap,they will help you and they certainly wont have your daughter taken away

take care

you need to see your family doctor, they talk to poeple like this everyday. you are not alone and it is fixable, but you have to talk to your doctor

It definitely sounds like post natal depression. You need to go to the doctor - don't be scared about the doctor's reaction as this happens to a lot of women and they understand. It is a recognised condition that can be treated. They can give you the help you need to get over it.

Firstly, they wont take your baby away, you definately have the symptoms of post natal depression, please dont be afraid, and go to your doctor, there is so much he/she can do for you, but unless you ask for help, you wont get it!

Think you really should go to a doctor...they won't take your child but they might help whats the alternative sit and wait for something terrible to happen which by the sounds of it will!!

hey babe do you have anyone there you can turn to? you must go and see your Dr. they are not going to take your daughter away but you do need help and you know it. you may even need a therapist who can guide you and help you lay your fears to rest. all your fears of death are because you now have your daughter and she is so precious to you, so in need of you and you worry about failing her or leaving her alone. and these fears are normal but when so out of control are also a definite sign of your depression

Times have changed and post natal depression is widely recognised and very treatable.You are not crazy and will not have your child taken away but you sound like your suffering from this debilitating condition ...you must go to your doctors and get help. Call them tomorrow please so you can start to live a happy life with your daughter.

since you didn't mention your husband or the father or your child, I'm gonna assume is not on the picture (if he is, you should tell him all those things you've written).
if you're a single mom, you probably feel as if life is a burden. especially when you have to care for someone Else other than yourself.
if you're not a single parent, even better, because you don't have to do it all by yourself. you could go easy on being a mother for awhile (i know this is not easy), and take care of yourself.
go to the doctor and get a breast cancer examination or something.


just an extra information, not all breas lumps means yo have cancer. last time i had a check up, i found out that i had lumps on my breast too. but my doctor said it was nothing. its a natural thing. some ppl have lumps in their breast, and it doesn't mean they have breast cancer.
just talk to your doctor because you'll never know unless you try.

good luck... I hope you don't have it.

firstly you have postnatal depression, if you talk to a doctor he /she will get you help, your child will not be taken from you, you only stand to loose your child if the child is suffering sevear neglect, this is because social workers have clocked on to the fact that if a child is taken from its mother, it can be more damaging then if it was suffering a little negelect (just not alot) also once you get help, things will improve and you will feel more posative, there are even groups where people who feel similarly to you can meet and talk, it can make a world of a difference when you have the right support, but I hasten to add that a symptom of the depression will be having a poor outlook on life and disbelieveing any help will make you feel better, so its just something you have to tell yourself to do.

another symptom of depression is thinking you have other illnesses- now I am not saying your worring about nothing and please please PLEASE get checked out at your doctors, they often can tell straight away if any lump is cancerous, its rare they need to send you away for a scan. But its well documented that even things like headaches and the flue accompany depression, its the minds way of slowing you down as the mind is unwell (depressed is unwell) and is asking you to deal with it. It can also be easier to focus all your attention on an illness rather then deal woth the depression.

Depression can also alter your periods if you have altered your food or weight as a result in feeling very low.

Also, lumps in the breast right around period time? very very normal.

Please get help! see your doctor, what is happening to you is very very normal and there is a great deal of help available for you, you only have to ask!
