A lot of chiropractors have massage therapists on staff, or could refer to one. 

Good luck,

As someone who has a long family history of mental illness I completely understand where you are coming from. I have the same issue except it's my mother. If not for the medications I take every day I would have taken my own life a long time ago! Nobody can tell you what you do and do not feel. They are not you and until they spend a day in your body experiencing everything that you do....they have no room to say anything. My mother and my siblings don't believe that I'm Bipolar, my mother thinks it's my way of getting out of being productive in life! When there's a deep seeded family history you have to be careful! I lost my father to suicide, mental illness is no joking matter. It sounds to me like your dad has his own issues to deal with and he's in some sort of denial about them. Your mental illness doesn't define you, it doesn't make you who you are and you aren't a bad person because of it!!!!! I unfortunately had to stop talking to my mother because it was doing more harm than good having her constant judgement in my life. Keep your head up and keep taking your meds!!

I am grateful...

For my daughter, Shelby...

My life after WLS...

My fiancee, Luis who is the love of my life...

Being able to love and be loved...

Wow girl, I know this story.  I was married for 10 years my daughter was 2 when I had WLS.  I went from 374 pounds to 161 pounds.  Everything changed.  I knew we had issues, it really wasn't a healthy relationship.  But never in a million years was I prepared for the changes in me, the male attention and the changes in how other people treated me.  After months of agony and fighting I realized it wasn't the weight that made me depressed, it was a bad marriage.  Now I had the balls to do something about it.  I did not have surgery and work my ass off to be unhappy.  March 07 I told him I wanted a divorce.  We lived in the same house until I moved out that October.  June 07 I had an affair.  The man was someone I had met at a gastric bypass support group meeting.  He was also married. We dated for about 7 months. I think in some twisted way it helped me move forward and get out of a bad situation.  That ended, it was a phase.  Bottom line is that we are very different people...maybe some counciling might help you?  Worth a try. 
Good Luck.

 I'm not bipolar, but I have been on anti-depressents for years. I cut down to the minimum - I can't seem to completely get off. But I can understand not feeling right being off the meds you need. I know I am moodier and I get frustrated easier. Mix in hormones and I can be a complete mess at times!

Aug. 20 is coming soon! Make sure you keep in touch with your doctor and have good support from friends and family after the baby is born - you are at a higher risk for post-partum depression. 

Take care!
