Mental health & pregnancy/baby regrets??

Question

Does anyone here who struggles with depression & anxiety REGRET getting pregnant or having a baby?
Ive had major depression for 15 years & despite treatment im far from cured. Maybe I shouldn't have a family?? I feel damaged and sad.

Answer

I have suffered from depression anxiety and bipolar my whole life, I use to think I'd be such a horrible mother (my parents always told me that) but I decided to have them anyways. I have a one year old son and my whole life took a total turn, yes I still have the problems, but I fee myself happier and I got a reason to wake up everyday. I got myself on a schedule now (babies love them) and I feel a lot better. I'm currently pregnant again, but i will take my medicine again when I give birth. 
Just because we suffer for mental illness doesn't mean something is wrong with us, we are allowed to still have life's and in fact thinking you shouldn't is a part of your illness. 
You are good enough and you can be a great parent, but also remember parents make mistakes no parent is perfect. 
I love my son to death he is my everything, the love of my life, my sunshine, the best thing I've EVER done and I'll love my daughter the same.
