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'm so sorry you're in such a difficult situation. Being a caregiver is one of the most difficult tasks especially when it's someone you love.

@LittleCoco Thank you and yes it is the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. Especially hard when the one you care about has a disease that has no cure or treatment.

@LittleCoco Thank you, I do appreciate your offer. What I need more than anything is someone to cheer me up every now and then. This is difficult keeping my wife laughing and keeping her spirits up when I'm so sad all the time.
