Hello Steemit and Dtube community! I had been planning on vlogging for a while and I found Dtube to be just the site I have been looking for.
A bit about myself... Me and my wife are North American, one of us is American and one of us is Canadian. I want people to guess which of the country's I am from and which country we are living in. In my future videos you may or may not detect an accent one way or another.
I plan to do Dtube videos about a few subjects that are important to me. They are not all happy but here goes... Depression, miscarriage and pregnancy. I have struggled with depression since the age of 13 and I am now 34. I was only diagnosed with it at the age of 28 and I have been taking medication since and it has really helped. I would like to try to help youth, and parents of youth as well as adults to recognize some of the symptoms if depression, and to talk about my experience with depression.
Not too many husbands or boyfriends talk about miscarriage. We have gone through 3 miscarriages and my wife is currently pregnant but I am still pretty worried that she will miscarry again. She is 8 weeks and 3 days and we saw the baby's heartbeat yesterday!!! 2 weeks ago we had an ultrasound and they said that the baby wasn't developing and they couldn't even see the fetus (only the yoke sac) and we would most likely miscarry. My doctor said there was only a 5-10% chance our child would make it. So it is literally a miracle! Thank-you Lord! We have been praying for this and would appreciate any prayers from you guys. As my username says, my name is Caleb. I haven't told my wife that I am posting this so I won't include her name just yet. I would love to hear from others who have had miscarriages and who finally got pregnant. Also I would like to hear from others about their stories about depression.
