I am in my mid 30's & I recently became depressed. I had frequent perionds so I went to the doc. They did a pelvic exam. That was a traumatic experience cause I am a virgin. The doc priscribed me provera for 10 days. I've got sevier anxiety attacks since I started taking that med. I cannot eat, sleep. I've been praying alot. At one point I thought I was possed by the devil. I've never been depressed in the past. I've been through alot in life time. Child abuse, almost got killed, fathers death, Id theft, problems with my sis & work. When all these things happened I was strong. My sister on the other hand had a nervous break down. Right now my life is going so well for me. I am engaged to be married to a great guy. I was very happy. I was too much in love with him. My sis doesn't like my fiancee even though she met him only once. When I had problems with him I confided in her. 2 weeks ago she asked me personal questions about him & upset me. You think that caused it?

I think I am feeling the side effects of this medication. So I went to the doc again Tuesday. The Doc gave me zoloft and Xanex. It's been 2 days only since I've taken it but I still feel depressed. I feel sad that I am going to ruin my wedding. My mom said don't ruin my wedding. I didn't tell my fiancee about my depression or anxiety. Sometimes I don't even wanna see him. Before I wanted to see him every day. I don't want to ruin my wedding. Everyone will laught at me if I screw this up. My fiancee is such a good guy he wants to make a best future for me. My sister is always negative. About 3 months ago she said she didn't like him. That hurts my feelings. My fiance is good in every way. He is kind, gentle, generous, good looking. Once my sis said that someone told her that no one would marry me and no man would last even 1 hour being married to me. Now I found this wonderful guy and I am trying to ruin it. I love him with all my heart.

Marriage is a very important step...but you can't get away with being depressed and NOT telling your partner. If he is to marry you he has to take the good with the bad. Physical Exercise is a great way to reduce stress and gain a great deal of self esteem. You may be experiencing a temporary depression or a very serious chemical imbalance. Your doctor will be able to help you with that. Don't worry life has its downs, ups, and sadly its patient long lasting downs. Good luck and God Speed.

there's only one hope for depression. That is an effective anti depressant medication. Depression comes from a checmical imbalance in the neurotransmitters and the brain and nothing in the world will alleviate unless you compensate for it. The right medication will do it. When you're depressed, you're unable to interact with a therapist by talking or be with or around anyone so talk therapy won't work. Being around people is a waste because the loss of interest makes it difficult to tolerate company and again, verbal interaction. You will have no desire for pets or taking care of animals as it's too labor intensive, too complex and your mind can't handle it. Excercise requires motivation which you have none. Until you can compensate for the chemical imbalance that's causing the depression and anxiety, none of these suggestions are useful.. Once you regain your sense of motivation and desire to do things, only then can any interaction or activity possibly help feel good.. There are ssri's, snri's mao inhibitors and trycyclic anti depressants. Some work better than others depending on the individdual. It is frustrating until you find one that works well with tolerable side effects. If none of these are ever an option, try ect (shock therapy)l

I think you're obsessing and thinking that it things are going to fail. When you get home this evening... Relax... Take some time and RELAX... Disconnect the phone, don't do anything...
Don't drink anything with caffeine in it.. Eat a nice healthy meal and maybe have ONE scoop of ice cream... Something to just enjoy life for an evening. Get a movie or a good book and RELAX...
I think you're overstressing yourself and end up not accomplishing what you want to do because you're shifting your focus in too many areas. Tonight RELAX.. Tomorrow, plan your attack on whatever is stressing you out.
Once you nail something, cross it off the list, and move onto another llsted item... Set 3-4 things that you can say, "These are DONE." Then tomorrow evening, relax for you got several things DONE. When the morning comes, another list of things that you need to get done. If you fail to complete the list, guess what.. It's first on the list Tomorrow.

Depression is caused by negative perceptions and negative thinking. Your post was predominately negative. Meds help but it takes about 2-3 weeks for them to take effect. Even if they work it is still necessary to work on getting your mind rid of the negative thought patterns you have gotten into.
I would suggest that you postpone your wedding until you become emotionally stable. That does not mean canceling it but you don't sound like you are in a mental state for a happy wedding now. I would also suggest you avoid negative influences like your sister until you can counter her negativity about you and your fiance' with some convincing positive arguments of your own. You seem too much influenced by your sister's opinions. It is your life, you have to live it not her, so stand up for your convictions!
Good luck, God bless, peace and love!

Keep praying and read your bible daily...that is good advice..trust.
You don't need to be upset with your sister. What you need to do is hear her out. When you love someone (your fiancee)you may be blind to what others may see as plain as day. Even if it was only one time that she met him. Just hear her reasons. Tell her to hold back. Think before you respond to her, because you will be full of emotion. If what she is says makes sense to you then you might want to think twice. You only have one life. And men come a dime a dozen.

I hope this helps you and anyone else who sees this. It has changed my life completely.

Please communicate with your fiancee' about your depression.
He needs to know what your going through to support you.
Talk your your doctor about your depression and the things you go through also. Ask Jesus what you should do about your sister not likeing your fiancee'. There's gotta be something behind why she asked him personal questions and upset you. Good luck and keep up the faith in Jesus.
