Hello, everyone. I posted here some in 2002, and here I am again. I see a few familiar names and LOTS of new ones. Now that there are so many more boards, I am not sure if this is the place to post... Ya'll redirect me if you know where this should go...
As a recap, I have some mild depressions that recur. I don't have a lot of reasons in my life to be depressed, so I am almost sure it is a chemical thing. I have never been to a psychologist; never taken any meds. My depressions (when they are bad) affect my energy, and feel like a weight on my chest. It is like I have a constant lump in my throat. I have always been able to get out of bed and go, but without any enjoyment at all.
I have been MUCH better over the last 3 years, much because I have a beautiful almost 2 year old daughter! I didn't have ANY post partum depression (thank God!), but now I am coming down a little again. I stay home with my daughter, and I am doing OK, but I'm feeling a little restless. I really want another baby, but DH resists (similar to his reaction to my wanting our first). Maybe this is what is getting to me, or maybe it is just a mid-life crisis (I'm 34). DH is CRAZY about our toddler, and is still very affectionate with me, but I still feel kind of lonely.
Anyhow, it is nice to see Babble is still happening...
