So Depressed! Help!

BugAndBoo · February 2013

I am so depressed! I've lowered my Prozac dosage, instead of switching to Zoloft, and I think that maybe I need to up my dose again. I feel awful. Here was my thought process today:

"I am so sad, I just want to cry and scream

But I don't have anything to be sad about.

But I can't deal with life anymore.

What would my daughter do without me? She would be miserable.

Well, if I tried to kill myself, I'd have to kill her first so she wouldn't have to live without me.

Ok, now I'm a crazy person, talking about killing my daughter. I love my daughter.

****Gut wrenching screams****

Maybe I need more Prozac.

God help me.

Ok, got that out of my system, I think I'm better now.

****gut wrenching screams****

Ok, maybe not.

Deep breaths, it's just your hormones talking. "

I should also say that now that I've vented, I do feel better. My hubby will be home soon, DD is at grandma's house, and we get to go on a date. (1st one in I can't think how long!) So, really, I am feeling better. I just want y'all to know. I still appreciate any prayers and encouraging thoughts. I know I'm not alone in feeling like a crazy pregnant person.

You need to call your doctor. Any time you're having an internal dialogue about killing yourself and your daughter because you're so depressed (whether you mean it or not), you need help. I don't mean that in a mean/snarky way... I mean that in an I'm concerned and no-one should have to feel like that way. Please call your doc.

Yes, please call your doctor. No one should have to feel like that and go through that thought process.

Please be safe and enjoy date night! Talk to your DH about this too, he can help you reach out to your doctor.

What they said! Thoughts about harming yourself or others requires immediate medical attention. Please call your doctor and go in to get a dose of something that works for your depression. This is serious!

I'm glad you feel a little better after venting. I have MDD (major depressive disorder) so I actually understand where you're coming from. However since you're wanting to kill yourself (and possibly your daughter! *gasp!*) you need to call your doctor RIGHT NOW. AND you can always message me. I have suffered through it for years myself. And I can tell you: for me zoloft was HELL. the side effects were horrible. I was on wellbutrtion before I got pregnant but I quit taking it (didn't know if it was safe or not for the baby)

....you need to call your doctor or go to the ER. Right now. That is not healthy.

Please go to the ER now. They can call your Doctor when you are there. Please, get help now.

For the record, OP, no one faults you for thinking this way, and no one thinks you're a bad person because of it. We all do the best we can. Pregnancy hormones can do crazy things to an already stressed body. What you're feeling is not normal, though, and you need to get seen.

The only person who can help you is your doctor. You need to call them or go to the ER. As everyone else has said, this isn't normal. And if you said it to be funny, that's also not normal. And not funny.

Get help please. No one wants you to hurt yourself or your child.

Please please get help ASAP. For your daughters sake at the very least. I am so sorry that you feel this way and I'm sure the last thing you want is to actually hurt yourself or your daughter, but that thought process is not normal or healthy even if you never act on it.
