Depression Understood Forums

Hey, just thought I'd better be "sociable" and say hello and introduce myself to everyone. I've just turned 30 and have basically never been the same person since the birth of my second child 4 and a half years ago. I went to a post-natal depression support group when she was a baby that didn't help much, then battled on myself until admitting defeat about 3 weeks ago when I went to the docs and am now on flouxetine and on the waiting list for counselling. So I guess that after nearly five years after giving birth, it's not really post-natal depression anymore; just good old fashioned depression?! Sometimes I wish I'd never had her and just want to run away. I'm just so disappointed in myself at how my life has turned out; is this really "it"?
Hope everyone is doing ok today x
