I am not a mother, but i am a daughter and i dont have much experience here but i think that sometimes everybody feels that their lives can be snatched away from them in an instant, not just people with depression.
Have you spoken to anyone about your fear and anxieties?
I love my fiance and i can think what my life would be like without him .... I treasure every minute we spend together and everything that he says or does.
You have to be strong and hold on to what you have
Hope i helped a bit any way
CoachD,
You have come to the right place! Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find our Depression Test. This test is not a diagnostic tool and is not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice.
The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. This may better pinpoint your situation.
If you have any question or concerns with our site or please contact Support Department at support@depressioncenter.net. We are open to any questions or concerns you may have.

I am new to this sight so I hope I can get some responses to my post. I am a teacher, a father, and a husband. For the last 3 months I have been dealing with these feelings off fear and guilt over my daughter growing up. She will be 3 in 2 weeks and we have another child on the way. I am driven crazy by all the people to go on and on about how time goes so fast and before you know it the kids will be all grown up and all those memories will be all that you have. The truth of it is, I never had anyone love me and cherish me the way my daughter and wife do. I live constantly in fear that one day all that I have will be gone. My career and my family. I have worked very hard for all I have. I was not a bright student and my childhood was stressful because my family did not have much and we lived payday to payday. My mother suffered from severe depression because of our financial situation and I was often the target of her frustration. Now that I am a father, I find myself loving my daughter too much and not wanting her to grow up and leave me with only these memories. I worry about something happening to my wife and the new baby and I worry about losing my job which I have worked so hard for. Has anyone else felt this way about their kids and had it effect them like this? Please respond!
