Depression

I AM GOING THROUGH SOME MAJOR DEPRESSION ISSUES. MY HUSBAND DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE HOW TO HELP ME. SO HE IS JUST DEFENSIVE AND SOMETIMES VERY HURTFUL. HE FEELS I SHOULD JUST GET UP AND MOVE AND I WILL FEEL BETTER. BUT, ALL I WANT TO DO MOST OF THE TIME IS JUST SLEEP. IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME HELP HIM UNDERSTAND THAT I JUST CANT HELP IT. ANYONE OUT THERE TO TALK TOO. PLEASE

Depression can cause a whole host of problems in relationships. Your husband might want to talk to a therapist or find a support group. He needs to learn how to deal with his feelings about your depression in a constructive manner.

Hi, I'm going through the same thing right now. My husband just doesn't get it. He is always angry because I just don't feel like doing anything. I'm fed up with him and every thing else. I'm going to the doctors on monday for the first time. I'm scared but I know it is something I have to face. I hope you get some help and start feeling better soon. Your not alone!

I know exactly how you feel, but my husband is the only one who understands. I take medicine and it's as if I'm taking nothing at all. I hate life, I don't want to get out of bed, I just get too overwhelmed. My daughter gives me alot of grief. I'm 53 years old, and I don't want to waste my life in bed, crying, etc. I do think sometimes though, my husband is glad I go to bed so he doesn't have to deal with me. If you need someone to talk to, don't hesitate. I have no friends. They don't want to be around someone who is depressed all the time. deedee53

I read an article that was perfect for you to print out and let them read.

I had the same problem, friends just said snap out of it. This article said, you just don't snap out of it and teaches these people about what a hell you are living....Search google maybe you will find something. If I can find it I will post it here later.

Get help from your doctor, you have to try different meds to get the right one, some really do nothing but make you sleep and some work. Some may not work at first and then 2months later whamm they work. Good luck, get out of that hole!!

do not care how it affects youe family. Why?, becuase they no nothing about what your going through and they never will unless they walk inside your shoes. Depression sucks! So move on, if they love you... then they'll always will bew there no matter what. Plus thinking and dwelling on what you think their feeling will never let yourself focus on th real prblem,i do not mean to be forward, but ive been there and still there but you got to focus on just you!!! stay strong

hey, i totally understand how u feel and how bad it hurts havin a significant other who does not understand whatsoever. I can explain it to mine til im blue in the face. it dont matter. he dont understand, he critizes me for something i have no control over, so if you ever wanna talk, im here and i understand what your going thru. by the way, are u taking meds and do they work for u?

I to have a husband that does not understand, and I have tried explaining depression as best I could. I know that I treat him badly at times, it seems I just take out all my frustrations on him, and I would like for him to understand that I just can't seem to help it.
