I Battle Depression On My Own

It's been a very hard couple days for me. My wife has really struggled in not doing what she used to be able to do and she cries a lot more these days. All I can do is hold her and try to comfort her. It gets harder every day for me to try and cheer her up when I am struggling to stay positive on my own. I have reached out to a few friends for help but they are too busy and don't have time. My family hasn't wanted to talk with me for years. I can't get support from my wife since she has a terminal disease and her family is struggling enough. I've always been there for everyone in my life through the years. I didn't think it was too much to ask to have someone to help me through this, but it seems it is too much to ask.

I will never understand why life has to be so painful?!😞Then all you have is each other, just tell her that and how you are feeling too. You are just one person and can't do everything in a day so try to let that go! All you can do is live one day at a time and try to be the best person you can. ⭐I just hang on to the fact that nothing stays the same, which is good when we're living in hard times. When I fell down a flight of stairs I was in a wheel chair for a long time, my boyfriend had to do everything, we had no outside family support either. I would try not to cry in front of him, but sometimes I did. Even when I didn't feel like it I would give thanks for my life....very slowly things have improved. 🍀 Green is a healing color, sending healing prayers for you and your wife.💫🙏🏼
