What to do when Depression comes back?
I have had depression since I was 9, and last year (17) I went off my meds with the help of a councelor. I was really really good, and seemed to be in controle of my Depression. THen I made a stupid mistake and moved to Switzerland. I am only out here till January (and my mom is coming in December) So I dont have long to wait, 47 days. But I think my depression is coming back. I can hardly wake up in the morning, I have to FORCE myself out of bed. and if it wasnt for the fact that 2 kids are here needing my care I wouldnt get out of bed. On weekends I sleep the WHOLE weekend. I wake up sometimes to go to the bathroom then crawl back into bed. I feel like there is no hope and the days arent passing. I feel like its forever and a day till I can go home. I can not afford my meds out here on my salary, so is there anything I can do to just calm myslef and give myself hope and energy? p.s. I am taking a multi vitamin since my grandma thought it would help with the fatigue (shes a nurse) and its the routine that kills me. Im not allowed to leave the house because the little one isnt supposed to go outside. I have to stay indoors 24/7. the last time I actually went out was on Saturday for 20 min. and the time before that was Saturday again. im an aupair, but thanks for being so ignorant. not everyone is a younge mom. I hate that everyone assumes that. I cant go out because I work all day and have no time. I am not allowed to go out with the younge one.

Your children could be a good driving force in your ability to function but I know that its not that easy. I would set up a calender and count down the days. Call home if you can as often as you can.You don't have that much more time to go. And as soon as you get home...go to the Dr's. I would also set up a daily regiment so that should keep you on track some. I suffer from depression to so I know what you are going through. Good luck.

It s that time of year when the dark nights cause depression I think that you should try to get some one to look after your children and take time to your self every one should take at least 4 hours to get you head shired and get involved in a hobby , go skiing eat out or just have a coffee and try to relax you don't say if your husband or partner is with you if he is he could be more supportive if not use the time when your mother comes over to help explain your feelings to her let her be your crutch good luck and i hope you turn you life around

You are in a difficult position right now. Depression influences one's perceptions, and the deeper the depression the more hopeless, helpless and dark seems one's plight. Try to keep in mind that these are symptoms that can and will be alleviated once you are able to restart medication. Can anyone send you money for meds? My biggest concern is that you may become suicidal. Email me via my profile if you like.

coping skills. im not going to bust your a-- about having kids and being young. im sure your a great mom. try to right down some goals as to what yo uhope to acomplish and what steps you "hope" to make in order to get where you hope to get to in order to start your new life

Thank you to all who answered my question on euthanasia
Thank you to all who answered my question on euthanasia!!!?
Thank you to all those answerers who decided to answer my question. I see that most would be supportive of legalizing euthanasia. Legalizing only means that the doctor/nurse who helps you along cannot be prosecuted for murder. Did any of you know that Oregon has euthanasia laws? Another country is the Netherlands adn a third one is Switzerland. Legalizing this would ensure that those who don't want to live due to terminal illness can get the chance of a dignified final exit--unlike suicide which can be painful and go wrong.... As far as my condition is concerned am I at the point where quality of life does suffer--but I decided to stick it out a little while longer, because I do want to meet my grandchildren before I make that final deciion...so thank you for all the good opinions, which I had not expected.

I am glad , that for now ... you are sticking it out grandchildren are a good reason to try a little harder however , I hope that whenever life has given you too much that you find peace ((((HUGS))))

I hope the time until you make that decision is filled with love and joy. Hugs to you.
3 :
Be honest with your doctor when its time too. Majority of doctors will help you go quietly and with the pain control they have now, it is more dignified. I have seen many patients just use the pain control to pass away, on mutual sides by doctors and patient and family, just discuss it now ahead of time, so that way you know where you stand with your doctor when the time arises. I'm sorry to hear about your condition.

I live in Washington state, only a 150 miles or so from Oregon. Their assisted suicide law is a model for the rest of the nation, in my opinion. Washington is trying to hash one out now. I applaud you in your battle; even though you are having some problems, I believe that it's important to keep going as long as you reasonably can. Life is a precious commodity, and I hope that you make it to see your grandchildren. Dylan Thomas was right: "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light." but it's also right to let go when you have striven your utmost best. I don't know if you are a believer, but I hope that you will have refuah shlema - the renewal of mind, body, and spirit, to deal with what you must. Shalom.

Is this a good beginning
Is this a good beginning?
This is just the beginning of a book i'm writing, but it's not finished yet. prolouge-Emerald eyes On June seventeenth, at exactly the stroke of midnight, a baby girl weighing eight pounds and six ounces, with her feternal twin was born to Michael and America Mendler. Two proud parents, already mother and father to many. Matthew, Maxamillion, Michael, Athena, Arena, Jerimiah and Josphia. The year was 1998 at Edwards Hospital in Naperville, Illinois. Two nurses held uo the twins, side by side, both wrapped in pink. The other twin was asleep, but the other was wide awake. Ger eyes were wide with wonder, her eyes bright and clear, a smile on her gace. Her blanket couldn't restrain her tiny arms and skinny little hands. A small whisp of blond hair was sticking up on her head. Her eyes lashes were black, despite her blond hair. Her skin was a bright shade of ivory, there was no color in her cheeks or the rest of her. The nurses were baffled by the one twin's excited behavior and weir features but relieved by the other twin's normal behavior. One twin would drink formula, the abnormal twin would only drink fat free milk mixed with warm honey. One twin clung to both her parents, the other wanted only her dad. One woke up every hour or so, the other slept through the night. One twins teeth were soft and milky colored, the others were strong and white, adult teeth. They weren't sharp or jagged, like a person might think they'd be. And this child, she was curious, bright, sweet and wild. "What shall you name them?"A nurse asked, passing the demanding, abnormal twin to her father as another passed the normal, sweet little twin to her mother. "I haven't got a clue."Michael said, rocking his baby girl slowly, trying to lull her to sleep, but it didn't work. Failed attempt number....ten? To lull her to sleep. The other twin, the normal twin, was fast asleep in her mothers arms. The mother slowly rocked the baby in her arms, giving the abnormal twins name some thought. She came up with a name when she saw a flower through the window, by a pond. It was a water lily. and it was beautiful. "Lily Belle."America said out loud. The baby girl clapped her hands and squealed in her fathers arms. And then the mother sighed and to her normal baby, "Laurel Whyte." Soon after, the twins were being passed from child to child in the Mendler family. Lily dazzled everyone. But they dazzled her, too. Being dazzled while dazzling. Everyone loved Lily but Lily loved everyone, too. She loved her father the most. Soon after Lily and Laurel were born, at the age of one month, Lily and her family moved to Copenhogden, Denmark. The family lived there for four long years, until a tragedy struck the family. Michael dissapeared one day while fishing on the families boat in the ocean. they moved after a year of searching for him. They set up searches in the near country, Sweden. Also in other countries like, Germany, Switzerland, France. The family soon gave up and America moved everyone to Kansas where they started a farm. The other's didn't like to work, but Lily did. Working up from feeding chickens, to brushing and taking horses, to repainting fences and mailboxes and picking and planting in the garden. When Lily reached the age of twelve, another tragedy struck her life. Her mother died in a car crash with her friends parents. Flatt Quenn, Jeliah Mixx, Jazmin Young, Cedric Yorkk and his baby sister, Rukai Yorkk were also left parentless. But let's begin this story on June seventeen, five thirty in the morning. Was that a good beginning? leave answers to let me know!

Wow it's totally a good beginning! But i think you should do it the way you like it... I'm writing myself a book, I'm 14 years old, and it doesn't looks even a little bit like this opening you have there. It's a great introduction for what's about to happen. Quite interesting i should say. Good luck with that book of yours and keep on it, I think it's going to be really good.

It's a really interesting idea but right away I'm curious about why the parents have so many children. It might get confusing to tell them all apart later. You could edit the first two sentences together. For instance (and I don't think you need 'exactly') Also, are both twins girls? You mean fraternal. No need to mention the weight unless it's a detail that will come out later. Too much description bogs it down. 'On June 17, 1998 at the stroke of midnight, fraternal baby girls were born to Michael and America Mendler. (any reason the reader needs to know the name of the hospital?) Two nurses held the twins side by side, both wrapped in pink. One (the other and the other?) was asleep, but the other was wide awake with eyes full of wonder (newborn babies can't smile, sorry.) A small whisp of blond hair was sticking up on her head although her lashes were black. (bright shade of ivory? Consider revising. It doesn't make sense) At this point I think you should name the twins so when you refer from one to the other the reader will know who you mean. If this is 1998, don't say 'shall.' It's old fashioned. Edit all the stuff describing them way down and *please* don't use the word dazzling over and over. I had a Twilight flashback. Not good. Tell the story in as few words as possible. For instance When they were one month old, the family moved to Copenhogden, Denmark. Simple. Then you flash forward four years, so that seems to happen too fast and then they move again. It's confusing. One move is enough. Then Lily is twelve? slow it down a little. Then there's another tragedy and then you say 'let's begin?' The Mom dying seems like overkill and the story's already begun so you don't need that. Keep working on it and good luck!
