I’m not really sure where to post this. I don’t know how to describe this to my psychiatrist and I need help. I need to be productive and I am not.

I have been on Effexor XR for years (eight), my current dosage is 300mg. I want to get off of it bc I have not been motivated like I used to be before 2001. My brain is constantly fatigued and I am constantly lazy & unmotivated.

I DO NOT feel depressed or suicidal at the present time.

So today is my due date and I had a prenatal he said I was 1cm dilated and gave me a s&s. He sent me for a biophysical ultraasound so he could book an induction date for next wednesday

The ultrasound said baby currently weighs 9lbs 12oz…how accurate is this?

Anyone vaginally deliver a baby of this size or larger..I am having a huge anxiety attack

According to a few psychologists and a psychiatrist I am Borderline and an chronically depressive. Fair enough, when I found out I was pregnant the psychologist I was seeing at that time warned me that I was more likely to have postnatal depression. That, so far, makes sense.

So, I was worried I’d fall into a postnatal depression and therefore wasn’t looking forward to the birth, but when it turned out to be an emergency c-section I probably wasn’t at all prepared for what would follow.

My baby boy is now 31/2 months and yesterday I looked in the mirror and for the first time I noticed my hairline is receding. I already look so awful after this second pregnancy and none of this happened with the first. Granted I was unable to take prenatal vitamins because it never stayed down but had I known about this hair loss horror I might have kept forcing them down everytime they came up. My hair thinned a lot with the first pregnancy three years prior but OMG this time I am balding at the front. What can I do to stop this??? My belly still looks awfully fat and jiggly to the point where sucking it in is hopeless and I am too exhausted even to exercise everyday because I am up at stupid hours all the time consumed with baby, preschooler, husband, house work and housewife duties (paying bills, grocery, dropping off and picking up monster toddler at school with baby in tow all the time). I have tyres all around my midsection and I feel so embarrassed by the way I look that I have become dowdy, dressing down in t-shirts to cover my flabby, overlapping belly in my jeans. My self esteem is waning and I feel so depressed (NOT POST NATAL DEPRESSION I might add). I used to be so fit and so skinny that at one time I considered taking weight gain suppliments. I was an avid hiker, gym enthusiast, swimmer, scuba diver and adventurer and at that time I was a carreer oriented woman. I have since given it up to be a full time mommy and wife which equals overwork and underpay. I used to be able to shake off things that could get me down but this weight gain has got me down down down. I know someone is going to tell me to go to councelling but really can anyone suggest anything else before this? My birthday recently passed making me 38 and I went all out, dressed up and looked (I thought) great!! Then I saw the pictures and felt so awful at how fat I looked but marvelled at how pretty I managed to look….especially my hair. It’s not just vanity working here either but I have always been happy with my looks. Now I’m tired though happy with my wonderful husband, toddler and my bundle but my 3 year old is telling me I am a fat mommy. Well now I am a fat, BALDING mommy and that does NOT feel good. I eat right, do the most exhausting work at home that makes me sweat more than the gym and drink plenty water. Whatelse can I do to stop this hair loss and lose this damned weight so I can feel normal again?

My boyfriend’s ex-wife is leaving for Boot Camp next month. She tried to kill herself two years ago (2008) , wrote out a suicide not and had to be rushed to the hospital to get her stomach pumped. I havev known this man for half my life, so this is why I know the history. Anyway, she harassed me on several occasions when she was married to my boyfriend and he was in the military.
She physically abused him while they were married on several occasions and woul call the military police-no records exist. In 2006, she concealed an entire pregnancy while living on base on got no prenatal health care, physically exerted herself in hopes of a miscarriage and binge-drank alcohol on multiple occasions during the latter half of the pregnancy. What is strange is that her first pregnancy was a C-Section, and following that she had an abortion. These two circumstances make it all the more strange that she hid the pregnancy. She told nobody including her identical twin with whom she is close and lived with during the first half of her pregnancy that she was pregnant. I saw her when she was 71/2 months-she just appeared “fat” like she did with her first pregnancy-this isn’t just heresay. Some time following the surprise birth-again nobody knew she was pregnant until going into labor-at some point she was prescribed Prozac. When she was on her meds she did not abuse her spouse or harass me. After a while though she refused to take it. The military grants waivers for depression meds(which takes time), but she was processed so fast that I don’t believe the suicide attempt or the prescription meds were ever addressed. As well, she does other unsettling erratic things. A cursory glance at her Facebook suggests she is joining the military for attention from Army men and her ex-husband. She is neglectful of the children, appears largely disinterested and not bonded but uses them to manipulate her ex-husband. I am hard-pressed to believe she revealed any suicidal history or depression to the MEPS. She isn’t a very nice person, she is an alcoholic, but even so, her children don’t deserve to have a dead mother. If her civilian life made her put her own life at risk, certainly military life would add pressure. Again, I doubt these things were revealed to MEPS.
