    I have had depression and anxiety issues for as far back as I can remember and probably before that but didn’t know it, I am 38 years old. Knowing that you have an issue is most important – doubting it can lead to bigger issues. I really don’t believe that depression will ever go away and no matter what I, you or anyone else says or does will ever “cure” it. I found that sometimes what works best for me is not getting inside your own head, when you start to feel negative or depressed try and discover what causes it (if any thing) fight the urge to let your self fall into that slump. I know it is easier said than done and even sitting here typing this is such a catch 22 as I know all too well about being my worst enemy. The most positive thing you have is that baby and when you feel that there is no hope look at that child and realize what a blessing it is and fight, you are so young and have so much life and so much to offer you just don’t realize it at this moment. Step back and look at all the things you have done so far, there are quite a bit of accomplishments there. The bottom line stay busy, I know the busier I am the less time I have to dwell on the negative, I hope my little rant helps you in some way! Good luck!
