depression cycle with children and self sabotage

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Does anyone else go through this?

I started some new meds a few months ago when i started to feel like things were getting a little out of my control. And while i was taking them everything "seemed" better.....but i stopped about a month and a half ago. Which is a cycle in itself....i just cant make my self take them! They make me feel funny, and then i convince myself im pregnant and obsess about how the meds are going to hurt the baby....thats a separate thread entirely.

But There seems to be some sort of underlying need for my whole life to explode and for me to start over from scratch. I see the cycle, i get extremely overwhelmed and then quit everything, my jobs, my relationships, my hobbies....and then once i have alienated everyone and everything i feel this lift of pressure and almost sense of calm and peace and clarity and then start over.

Now that i have my dd, it just cant work like that, and i just dont know how to "start over" or when i have hit rock bottom and can start trying to put my life back together.

How do handle depression and children at the same time?
