writes:I have reason to believe that I am suffering from depression. (My boyfriend suffers from clinical depression also) I've been dating this guy for almost 3 yrs, we have a 1yr old son, and we live together. Also we r both 21 yrs old. I believe that i started suffering from this disease since 1 month before i became pregnant. He was always going out, i would call him and he wouldnt pick up, we would get in all sorts of stupid arguments and i was stressed out because of school my job my family. Then in october 2006 i had a stroke and a mild heart attack and my family didn't find me until 5 hours later. And Worst off i was pregnant i just didnt know it. After i had the stroke i began avoiding all my friends, i would always stay home crying, i lost 20lbs during the first couple of months of pregnancy. So during my whole time of being pregnant i only gained 16lbs. During my pregnancy i was always sad and crying, weird thing was that i was happy because i was gonna be a mother. And the worst thing is that i never told anyone about my being depressed and always faked being happy. june 07 my son was born and it was the happiest times of my whole life. But it didnt last long. i was always upset because during my whole pregnancy my boyfriend was always out with his friends and now that the baby is here nothing has changed. He keeps telling me hes gonna spend time with me and our son but of course he doesnt. Its so many things plaguing me that i dont know where to start and i feel like im going crazy. I just wish i knew what to do. I have told him about going to couples counseling because to top it all off we are supposed to get married, but whenever i bring it up he says no. What do i do?!

Hey sweetie. I have been depressed most of my life and have mental illness in my family. u need 2 go 2 the dr and get checked out 4 u and your son. This u can do by yourself or with someone u trust 4 moral support. u dont have 2 get on meds u may just need someone 2 talk with that doesnt know u r who u dont think will judge u. this is something u need 2 do 4 u and more importantly because u r taking care of a new life. i feel u should get a few things squared away b4 u get married when and if 2 whomever. we have 2 watch what people actions along with what they say. I hope this helps. :)
