sometimes i feel like ending my life. well, i probably would have done so a long time ago if its not for the fact that i'm pregnant. how do i cure my depression? i've tried talking to my boyfriend about it but it didnt work. i even tried meditation and doing other things so that i dont think of my depression. what can i do? my boyfriend keeps getting back from work late (he's in the service line, i understand that) morning and that's why i become more depressed. i hardly see him nowadays..

Talk to you doctor and ask them to recommend a mental health support group, help-line, and see if there are any medications available to you that are safe for you to take while pregnant.
Other things you could do are get active...exercise, find a hobby, something that you feel good doing. Volunteer for an organization - this will help you feel needed and any organization will surely appreciate your help. But definitely, DEFINITELY see a professional.
Good luck!

True depression, not being sad like most people, lasts for a long long time and you can not generally pull yourself out on your own. You might need counseling to help with your issues and medication. True depression is caused by a chemical imballance in the brain that only medication can fix. And yes there are safe meds for this while pregnant.

Can you see a therapist? Im not sure if you could take any medication for depression since you are pregnant but a therapist could help you a lot. I have been in therapy for 2 years for depression and I know how you feel.
Also, could you be mistaking hormonal imbalance and lonliness for true depression? Check with your doctor. You should be happy right now and I wish you lots of luck.

You should see a therapist. Your feelings may be related to your pregnancy. Many women have forms of depression while they are pregnant and after they have given birth. See your doctor.

Just ask your family for help and things should become better for u. Don't end your life for your boyfriend. Your boyfriend would want u to stay alive and the baby being healthy.

I suggest that you better see a therapist. You need to tell the therapist about your condition. The therapist is able to help you to overcome your problem.
