Not sure what to think, any advice?!

Posted by h.e. on January 20, 2003, at 8:33:43

Since I was a child I have suffered from some form or intensity of depression. A couple of years ago I started therapy w/ a phsychologist and six months ago I started effexor xr and stopped the therapy. I feel much better most of the time, and feel totally aware now of when I'm in a depressed cycle. I (like I believe most people who find themself w/ this problem) am an intelligent and very self aware and sensitive person. I sort of feel like I would not be myself w/o my depressive cycles, but at the same time I worry that when I have children I could hurt them emotionally or maybe even physically. I'm trying to figure out if I should start therapy again w/ a psychiatrist. Does anyone have any thoughts? I'm feeling very confused. On the one hand I feel like I understand my depression and wouldn't be myself w/o it, but on the other hand I worry that there are consequences for people other than me, which I would never want.
