I have been off anti-depressants for a year & am just starting to feel well.

I really want to start trying for a baby but am scared about how coming off the pill & going through pregnancy will affect my depression.

Has any one got experience or advised?

Thought I'd scroll on here and see the oldest disussion. Shame this didn't take.

I understand that feeling. I'm not sure what triggers my depression. It gets bad sometimes even with medication. My mind seems to be just programmed to be negative and depressed. I can't stop it sometimes.

Hello @Just_Sad‍, thank you for reviving this discussion! Let me tag some other members who can possibly share with you!

Hi everyone, how are you doing?

Sometimes there may be certain "triggers" or things that may deepen your depression, such as stress, another illness, a particular activity, a scent, a song, a behaviour, etc.

Are there certain things that exacerbate your depression? If so, how do you manage them? Are you able to avoid them or have you found ways to cope when you encounter them?

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

Lizzie when we loss loved ones some people are expecting to grieve in the same way with each bereavement, and are even more upset because they dont. this can be for many reasons, for example it could be the age of the loved one, how close you were to a certain person, how well they physically or emotionally knew a loved one. or lastly some of us may never have met a loved one for many reasons. or if physical events had taken place ,and a loved one could not be viewed by family and friends

this happened me was because, my son and i parted with bad blood between us, and when his baby daughter was born , and died age 50 minutes i was banned from attending her service or internment, her name was Rebecca Jade, but i called her Becky, and i bought her a small headstone and i go to her grave at least once a month with fresh flowers. i will always love my grandaughter, but possibly not as much as my Angel wife or son, who took his own life.?
