Hi I am 43 year old mother of 2 biological kids and 1 nephew who I have raised off and on since he was 8 months old. I am divorced and receive no help from their dad. My nephew's mom does very little to help as she is addicted to crack. I stay depressed a lot of the time and sink into to these debilitating depressions. My other two kids are 20 and 18. My son who is 20 goes to college and lives at home and he has a heart condition. My daughter is 18 and still in high school. She was diagnosed with cancer at 16 and just Thursday we were told she is in remission. I know I should be happy and I am, but I am so depressed at the same time. I usually have very little money, just enough to pay bills and that is it. I have to ask my parents for help alot of the time and they are retired and should be finished helping me, so I have a lot of guilt as far as that goes.
I take Xanax, Celexa, and Wellbutrin for my depression and it does help to some extent or I don't know what I would be like. I have guilt that my kids have a mom like me and a lot of the time I wish I was not here on this earth.
Am I the only one who feels this so strongly, I mean the depression and how do I get rid of it. I have suffered depression most of my life and some times it is better than others.
Well that is about it for my introduction, WOW what an introduction, huh.
