Depression advice

So my doctor prescribed me something for my depression and we are going to see if that helps. I think I know the reasons I’m depressed but there is nothing I can do about it. If anybody has any advice or ways that may also help it would be appreciated.

Take that medication. I ignored my depression for 3 years after birth and I could not do anything about the reasons as well. However, after medication, I became a better person , better mom and although I could not change my situation my foggy brain cleared up and I started to appreciate myself more and ignore the things that bothered me so bad. I hope you will feel better soon❤️

@Asmar thank you. I hope it helps. I’m tired of feeling like this.

You will feel better. Trust me. And if possible ask for therapy as well.

I was always super against having to take meds for depression/anxiety but when I was pregnant with my first it hit hard and under the circumstances I was in then, life was just difficult at that time. Medication really got me through the pregnancy and especially postpartum. After I got myself in a good space mentally and physically I did get off medication with lots of support and changing my life physically which led me to find myself in the gym and somewhat get my “old self” back. The gym helps wonders mentally/emotionally and physically. I lost 75 lbs and it was not fast, definitely took 2-3 years of hard work but best decision ever and have not since had to take medication. Although sometimes I feel I should but I know years later what my body needs and what I need to make sure I’m where I need to be at mentally. Good luck and wishing you the best!

@Brenda I don’t have the money for a gym and it’s so hard to exercise with my son around. I don’t really have any support either. I’m all on my own.
