It was not the first time she had been depressed, and traditional therapy had not helped her as much as she had hoped. This time, she sought out someone different. She found Jane Baxter, PhD, a therapist who was able to get her moving again, mentally and physically.

The 20-something couple, married just a few years, was eagerly looking forward to the birth of their first baby. Labor and delivery went fine, and the baby was born healthy. But problems began when the new mom, overwhelmed by motherhood, suffered depression. "The husband had to take care of everything," recalls Joan R. Sherman, MFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Lancaster, Pa., who saw the couple in counseling. When he was at work, he worried that his wife was so depressed she...

Baxter, who is based in Washington, D.C., has a unique background and practice. She is a psychologist and a certified personal trainer. When Anita showed up for her first appointment, Baxter eschewed the couch in favor of a treadmill.
"She's a mental health trainer and a physical trainer," says Anita, 46.

I'm sorry you are going through so miuch. You may want to ask this question on our Relationships and Coping Community.
I hope you find support on that community as well, but reaching offline for help as far as therapy goes may help you a lot too.
It is complicated for sure.View Thread

I'm going to post these crisis numbers again. But honey I need to say something. Sometimes friends don't know what to say to those in great need. They are frightened that if they say the wrong things, it could do more harm than good. I'm doubting that your friend is ignoring you, she just knows that you are in a bad state and unsure of what to say and how to comfort you. Please reach out for a doc if you are working with one, and if not, you need to call the Crisis Assistant Number. You need a professionals help.
(((hugs))))
Honey don't beat yourself up over this job or lack thereof. Life usually has a way of working out. You need to believe that.View Thread

I'm so sorry you are in such a bad place. You know hurting yourself is never the answer. You are not a failure hon. You raised a daughter, how could that be a failure? You are stronger than you realize.
Please reach out for your Dad and your friends. Lean on whoever you must to get through this. Don't forget the Crisis Assistance Links should you need them, please.View Thread
