...See more Hi. I've been dealing with major depression for a while now. I've been in therapy and I see a pdoc. It's related to meeical issues. I ended up having a hysterectomy and my ovaries removed middle of Aug. I've gone thru infertility treatments prev. Had 2 miscarriages and no kids. While I feel better physically, emotionally I'm not okay. I'm really struggling right now. And my sister just announced she's pregnant. Right now, I really don't care. I have alot of anger and resentment now. Anytime I'm with my family, all they do is talk about the baby. It's slowly killing me inside. If I say anything to them, it would probably turn into a yelling match. I've tried writing letters, all that comes out is alot of anger. I can't send them that. I'm doing alot of avoiding right now. On top of that, my hormones are way off. I'm on an estrogen patch, waiting on my gyn to call back so I can hopefully increase it. I'm incompletely miserable right now. Life just plain sucks. Thanks for listening.

...See more So...I'm having a really difficult time right now. I've been dealing with major depression issues due to medical problems and an uncle that died unexpectedly. I've had some suicidal tthoughts on and off. No plan, just in a I don't want to deal with this anymore. I still function, work, pay the bills etc. I see a psychologist for counseling and a psychiatrist for med management. I cancelled my appt this week with my psychologist and told her I want to take a break. Every time I go in for a session, all I do is cry. I get so overwhelmed and don't know how to manage it. Needless to say, I now have an appt mon. She wasn't overly thrilled on me taking a break. I get her concerns, but I'm really having a hard time. I'm tirer of crying.

...See more As if it wasn't bad enough....I have major depression due to medical issues, that I'm trying to get a handle on. My favorite uncle was just diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. He has inoperable tumor by his airway, with mets to his liver, spine and bowel. About thee only thing they can do at this point is radiation to shrink the tumor, possibly chemo. By the sounds of it, he probably won't tolerate chemo right now. Not sure about the radiation. They have him a month or two. I'm in a state of shock right now. I haven't stopped crying since I heard. He's my favorite uncle. A little crazy sometimes, but he has a really good heart.

...See more Just feeling like I need some extra support right now. I'm also a listener here. Hitting a little bit of a rough patch. Been feeling really angry and down on myself lately. Sometimes the angers directed towards the person who did this to me, sometimes I find it's directed towards me. Like in a should've, could've way. I know at the time, I did what I needed to do to get through it, it's just some days I guess I need a little more convincing than others. Dealing with this, unfortunately is nothing new. Been there, done that. Just feel like I needed to put this out there .

ptsd and relating to others

...See more I just wanted other people's opinion/experience when it comes to talking with other people. I've dealing with ptsd on and off for the past 5years. I've recently gone back into therapy for it. This is by far the worst it's been. I'm seeing the same therapist i saw last time. She helped me alot last time. This time, I'm having trouble talking to her. I feel a huge disconnect talking to her. I kind of feel because she hasn't been thru this, that she can't understand and I can't relate to her. Some days I feel like i can't relate to anyone or they can't or don't understand what I'm dealing with. It makes things a whole lot worse. Anyone have the same feelings or gone thru anythimg similar?? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
