Should i have a child if i have major depressive disorder
horrorfan [7]
It depends.

I had a friend who wasn’t happy with herself, always here and there. She ended up getting pregnant and kept her baby. Never seen her happier than she is now.

As for you, it depends. Do you think you could give that child endless love and provide for them? What about caring and times that it will take from your day?

I have not gone through it, but i have heard of people with this disorder not want to do anything due to how bad it is. If you do decide to have a child, make sure you always pay attention to the kid not just for it’s sake, but yours.

Kids can change people’s mood big time.

I hope you get better, and recover fast!

Much love

How are the factors that contribute to tobacco use related?
Alborosie
1. Boredom. Smoking is something to do. In many places, they offer smoke breaks to people who smoke. So instead of sitting in your cubicle and hating your life, it's very refreshing to take a five-minute break. Of course, you don't have to smoke, but a lot of people do because of the next point. 2. Community. There's pretty much always a designated smoking area, and the people who go to the smoke pit usually become friends. It's some social interaction for a little while during the grind of the day. And if you want to be a member of the little club they've got going, you have to smoke. 3. Stress relief. This goes along with the social interaction, but the nicotine itself definitely calms people down. 4. Keeping awake. I've done this myself - I usually sleep from 2000 to 0400 (8 to 4). And suddenly on the weekend I get stuck on guard duty from 0000 to 0500. I'm tired as hell and trying not to nod off. So I bum a cigarette off someone and smoke it, and I'm good for the shift. 5. Peer pressure. Let's say you're a non-smoker, but all of your coworkers are. They go on smoke break, and you're the only one who's in the office. What are you going to do, twiddle your thumbs until they come back? No, you go out into the smoke pit and hang out until they're done. Sooner or later, you start joining in, smoking a cigarette here or there, and it becomes a habit.
