Looking for others going through the same thing
Hi everyone. I found this community and it's amazing how many people are suffering like I am. I'm basically here to find some people who are going through depression to talk to, bounce ideas off of, support etc. If you would like to do that with me please add me as a friend and let me know you found me on here! Here's a bit about my depression

sorry to read you are having such a rotten time, I've been there too my heart goes out to you especialy when you have kids - you want to be there for their sakes. I have three, they are almost grown up now but it was hard when they were little and I was depressed like yourself. I think you are right to question the medication they have put you on, its always a difficult balancing act and it also shows that you are probably not as down as you think you are - you can question what feels wrong!
Take all the help you can get with Christmas, don't try and plan too much - just make it about the kids, the grown-ups need to understand that you aren't well and that they can look after themselves...and you if possible! Make it as easy as possible, no big dinners, as much ready and pre-cooked stuff as you can afford (its expensive in the UK, not sure about where you are), or can bear to use, and as few visitors as you can get away with. Be honest with yourself and those around you, concentrate on getting well, enjoying those two little sweethearts of yours as much as you can - remember that boisterous kids get on the nerves of parents who don't suffer with depression...thats kids, noisy, annoying and adorable all at the same time.
Take care of yourself, be kind to yourself, be honest with those around you and ask for their help and get better...let me know how you get on.
Love and hugs
