It's like idk who I am anymore, I'm not one to give up but now it's like what's the point of fighting if I'm going to continue to feel like this? I have hopes and dreams just like everyone else, but the person I've become just has know determination or drive anymore. I have a hubby and little 1yr old and I'm trying to hang in there.
I know exactly how you feel. Depression is so hard to live with. It must be hard with a 1 year old. How long have you been like this. Is it pnd. We've got to try and be strong. So hard though
You can always pm me if you need a chat

Are you on any treatment? If you are, it may be time for a dose change or treatment change. If you aren't, it may be time to seek treatment.
Depression is exceedingly difficult to live with, and does affect how we see ourselves but it doesn't change who we are. You are the same person you have always been. The depression is just making your self image less clear. The good news is that you can and will move past this, and there are treatment options that can help. So I think having a chat with your doctor is your best bet moving forward?
And remember that you aren't alone. The point of fighting is to get to the other side. You wont always feel like this. But I understand that sometimes fighting for yourself isn't always enough to pull you through. And sometimes even fighting for your family and friends isn't enough.... but I tell you what is: fighting for your child. That little baby, the one who gives you the bigggest smiles and makes you laugh and seems like the only sunshine in the world some days will help you through this. xxxx
It's such a cruel illness. I feel the same as you so your not alone x
