It's a valid question. At the moment, I'm in therapy (and he's not a licensed therapist, more of a 'life coach') dealing with some nagging self-esteem issues that I can't seem to kick. I know I'm not ugly, and yet I relive my feelings of junior high insecurity from time to time. It's not the kind of thing that requires "therapy" - it's just the kind of negative mental feedback that I know is illogical and yet occurs on a very emotional and physical level where logic doesn't help. So I'm doing some work on uncovering the roots of it and "reprogramming" my scripts around my physical self-image.
More answer than you wanted, really, but you asked. I am on medication for depressio but more for maintenance than for active treatment of symptoms - I've been exercising regularly and doing the things I need to do to prepare to step down my dosage and get off the Paxil.
This is not a decision we're going to make in the next 2 months. More like 6 months to a year.

May I ask what you are in therapy for? I mean, if it for something serious, and you need time to get your head right, then making a decision about having kids should probably be delayed, regardless of any tic-toc sounds or whatever anyone here thinks.
Also, I agree with ustwo - if you don't have kids, you can't know what it is like. Neither a pet, nor a baby brother, nor working in childcare, nothing compares.
