Hi!
Finally decided to register here, hoping that I can find more understanding from people here than in my day to day life. Many years ago I was in abusive relationship and I always tried to hide my emotions and thought I need to be stronger. Now looking back I probably was depressed then. After 5 years of that abusive marriage, it was more psychological rather than physical abuse, though on a few occasions it was physical too, I left my ex husband and moved on. After few years met my current husband and we have been together for 5 years now. He is lovely, caring and we love each other but after the birth of our son in November last year I became very depressed. I was tired all the time looking after the baby and I also have a 10 year old from previous marriage. I went to the doctors was put on antidepressants and am awaiting therapy. What I would like to ask is - are there any success stories of people fully recovering? How do you deal with this every day? And how do you get an understanding from your family and friends. I pretty much stopped seeing my friends as I feel that I am not a good company right now and to be honest I fail to see what we have in common. They live their lives how it used to be before and I'm at home with my baby, what can I even talk to them about? Anyone else experience that ? I feel like I should be happy with my two beautiful children, husband and a nice home but I'm always down and miserable. Hoping that here I can find people that know exactly what I am going through.
Thanks for reading
