I mean when i found out it was a boy i was so excited and ready. Now I can't feel love for either one of them and it scares me. I know I want for us to be a happy family. I know I want to spend the rest of my life with my wife. I just wish all could stop. I have been on antidepressants off and on for 3 or 4 years. I have recently got back on zoloft and I had one good week after i was told to change my dose to 150mg. But now it seems i have gotten worse. Zoloft has worked in the past for me. I dont understand why it isnt now.

Im trying to get on with things i just keep thinking nothing that bad you cant get over there is always something worse out there. I know its the depression thats effected my feelings and its proberbly the same for you, you start to think different things and it is the depression thats making you feel like this. Im feeling a lot better now and the feelings are coming back and im sure yours will to.

 Yes, it's quite likely that your battle with depression has affected your emotions. Depression is a serious illness and affects your brain chemically. It takes a while to get over, so don't be too hard on yourself. If you're on anti-depressants they can alter your emotions too, often making you feel a bit 'numb'. It sounds to me as though you still have the right feelings there, because you want to spend time with him, but they're probably not quite so intense because of your illness. Try not to worry about it and just enjoy his company. I'm certain your feelings will come back to an even keel in a while. You could also speak to your doctor about this next time you see him/her.
