I'm a wife of a soldier and a mother to 1 son who is 10 mos. old. My husband has been gone for 3 mos. and so far I have done well and have had no issues of depression until the last 2 weeks, especially the last 3 days. I thought these types of feelings would have come up sooner. I have had struggles with depression, cutting and suicidal tendancies in the past. I have since been recovered from them and haven't struggled with it for years now. I feel very very scarily suicidal now. I feel like cutting myself. I haven't acted on it, but I feel it and it's such a temptation. I have no idea who to turn to. I'm away from home and I'm so afraid that if I went to a doctor with this that they would take away my son and lock me up in a psych ward. I'm afraid to tell any friend because they've never seen that side of me before and I haven't known many of my friends here for more than a year. What do I do without being treated like I am crazy? I'm scared of the way I feel.
