Embarassed about my psychological problems?

Question:

Have you ever been embarassed to tell your doctor about what is going on with you emotionally and psychologically? I am feeling so low and depressed and feel like I am having physical symptoms of pregnancy but I am not pregnant at least according to the tests I take. It's maddening because I think I see the baby move and feel like I am feeling a baby move. Well any kindness and encouragement is greatly appreciated.

Answers:
first off please do not be embarrased your dr. has seen and heard it all and there is a condition know as hysterical pregnancy.....you have all the signs and symptoms of a real pregnancy, women go thru this if there is a desire to become pregnant or a fear of becoming pregnant. if you are sure there is no way you are pregnant your dr. can give you medication to start your period or schuedle an ultrasound, to show you are not pregnant. most women who are pregnant usually do not feel the baby move or kick for at least 10-14 weeks into your pregnancy. have the dr run a blood pregnancy test it shows positive 3 days after you miss your period.

The doctor has heard a lot stranger things than that believe me. Please tell the doctor and you will be able to help you.

It's not uncommon to feel this way if you really want a baby and have tried for a very long time!! Please just accept that in time things will work out the way they are meant to be!

Please take any type of psychological problems searousaly. Your doctor should know, a simple pill could help or he could refer you to a councler. We are no longer in the dark ages when it comes to mental helth, you wont be burned at the stake for getting help. If you are embarassed to talk to your doctor how will you feel when your friends start thinking that you are pregnet??

go tell the doctor because its upsetting you ad the doctor can help you out....dont worry too much u'll be ok

good luck;)

I wish you well wish this. I think you should focus on other things in the world. What are your other interests? By the way, are you married or with someone now? add details if you can.

You need to see someone before your problem worsens. You need to convince yourself you cant do it yourself without help. I went through major depression and, it seemed to get worse. I finally just said screw it and, told my doctor. I knew things would only get worse if I didn't tell someone. My doc was happy that I came to him with this. So good luck.
