First your baby is so cute!!!
I have depression related to the CF as well. I was diagnosed a few years ago and it has gotten progressively worse. I see a therapist once a week and it does help. I have good weeks and bad weeks - just like with the CF. But I also learned that when I feel healthier and am proactive in my well being the depression isn't as "scary". When I get down and loose weight and feel my lungs getting more congested it causes a snowball effect and I end up depressed again. It sucks!!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> But I try my best to force myself to stay healthy so I can stay on top of the depression as well. You would think that since we got stuck with the CF we could get a break elsewhere right? Guess not!
But I have similar childhood "memories" as you. I never had alot of friends, I got made fun of ALL the time for being too thin and coughing. One memory I have from 8th grade will stick with me I am afraid even on my death bed. I was sitting in my Social Studies class and these two "popular" girls were talking in front of me and the one had a cold. The other said to her "You probably caught it from Amy she is always sick its gross!". I started crying and left class. Needless to say I was never friends with them. Kids are mean, and we take things to heart when we are young. Unfortunately what happens when we are young influences when we are older. I am not an expert but my therapist has told me that there are many cases of depression amoung chronic illness patients. It's almost expected. There is only so much happiness you can muster on a daily basis with a death sentence looming over your head (sorry for the morbid thought but it gets my point across!).
Hope t his helps and keep your chin up!!

I was officially diagnosed with depression in October 06, but at the time it had very little to do with my CF. I think it really started a year and a half earlier when my dad litterally over night had to have a quadruple bipass. It started a cycle that lead to a bunch of bad cr*p in my life. I realized how much my boyfriend at the time was NOT there for me and we broke, then got into a REALLY desctructive relationship which got me dumped when I was jobless and broke. Then I met Brian and even though I wasn't looking for it I fell madly in love with him. Then a very close friend died of cancer 3 days before Brian was diagnosed with cancer.
Things looked up there for a while, Brian and I got engaged but 3 weeks later his grandfather died and Brian went into a deep depression. I was trying to plan and pay for our wedding without a lot of help from Brian. So about 2 weeks before the wedding I went to the doc and said I couldn't take anymore. Looking back on it I had probably been clinically depressed for about a year prior to going on meds for it. I went on meds for about 6 months. I went off antidepressants in March because my husband and I wanted to start trying to get pregnant. Then 3 months ago DH tried to commit suicide so baby pland got put on hold. But I have been very proud of myself for getting through the suicide attempt without going back on meds!

Then I met Brian and even though I wasn't looking for it I fell madly in love with him. Then a very close friend died of cancer 3 days before Brian was diagnosed with cancer.
Things looked up there for a while, Brian and I got engaged but 3 weeks later his grandfather died and Brian went into a deep depression. I was trying to plan and pay for our wedding without a lot of help from Brian. So about 2 weeks before the wedding I went to the doc and said I couldn't take anymore. Looking back on it I had probably been clinically depressed for about a year prior to going on meds for it. I went on meds for about 6 months. I went off antidepressants in March because my husband and I wanted to start trying to get pregnant. Then 3 months ago DH tried to commit suicide so baby pland got put on hold. But I have been very proud of myself for getting through the suicide attempt without going back on meds!

i dont think i have depression.... but i do have serious anxiety... more like a constant worry
im not sleeping well (here most nights and early mornings reading all i can), and not eating, kinda withdrawing from my hubby and newborn, dont want to show affection to anyone but Jae. it is weird, i feel like some sort of understanding has snapped in me and ever since cf camp 3 weeks ago all these bad things are going to happen... i have to say my ignorance really was bliss...
my mom is pushing me to go to the doc to get on some sort of med but i am hoping my anxieties and fears will quiten down once i understand and come to terms with all ive learned in these past few weeks...
