Does your baby feel like your only real Purpose & Happiness? Im so depressed.

Question

Anyone here have long term chronic depression & go into remission after baby?
Nothing brings me purpose, meaning or happiness anymore in life & I guess Im hoping a baby will change that... I know its a tough road but I want to feel love & hope. I just feel empty (yes i see a therapist & doctor) I feel completely lost and alone 😭

Answer

Everyone is different. I’ve been depressed since the age of 13 currently 23. When I found out I was pregnant I promise I would do anything I could to get my sh** together for the sake of my daughter. She was my motivation and my purpose for wanting to live again. Where as a girl I know also had depression had a baby and things just went even more down hill for her. No motivation. Not trying to get her act together. I see her worse now than when she didn’t have her daughter yet.

Answer

I had long term depression, but seriously it was due to the way my partner treated me. Is there any contributing factors for you, like a reason you would be feeling depressed

Answer

Honestly, I wouldn’t say my baby cured me. I love her more than life itself and she makes me work A LOT harder to improve myself. But if I didn’t want to work to feel better than nothing would have changed

Answer

I had depression for years and once I had my son, it’s gone:) I feel like he cured me. Good luck
