Hi everyone I'm just looking for a bit of help I have recently been diagnosed with depression which I have had on and of for about 5 years but recently it has got so bad I have had to go back on medication I have two beautiful children 1 and 7 which makes having depression even harder because like people say I have nothing to be depressed about and I feel so selfish to feel the way I feel. I can't even watch the news or go on Facebook anymore because of all the horrible stories of people hurting there children and it is really starting to affect me recently I seen stories of the Baby P posts and the James bulger just to name some that have stuck with me for years the thought of anyone hurting them poor innocent children sends me into a really dark place. I look at my own children and think some poor children aren't as lucky to have parents that care as much as I do for them but in a way that takes me away from my two children because I am feeling very down so maybe I am depriving my children of a happy childhood I'm so so sorry for the long post just don't no were else to turn and hopefully some over mums or dad's are going through the same or have been and can see a brighter side at the end because at the moment the world just seems such a nasty and dark place to be
