this is my first entry. I am a stay at home mom. I am having an extrememly hard time with depression. I am currently taking zoloft. I am so guilty about my children always seeing me in bed. I tell them i have a headache. My daughter is nine and is realizing that I am not like the other moms. My son is three and makes things for me "to make mommy happy. If I knew that my depression could get this bad I would never have children. How can I take care of them when I can't them.
Hello, Anna,
It sounds like you need more help with your depression than the Zoloft is providing. Who prescribes the Zoloft for you? Perhaps the dosage needs to be adjusted or you need a different medication. For some of us, medication alone isn't enough. Do you see someone for counseling or therapy?
Are you married? Do you have family or friends close to help you? Please tell us more. Maybe our members here will have some suggestions for you.
Keep talking to us and try to remember that help is available.
