I Battle Depression

I’m having a really rough day today. I’ve had a rough past couple of months. When I try to talk to my husband about my depression he gets frustrated with me. I know it’s probably frustrating being with someone that is always negative but I can’t shut my mind off I’m like a prisoner of my mind. I am worried he is gonna get tired of dealing with it and leave me. My MIL got mad at me earlier because I wouldn’t FaceTime. I don’t think they realize how close I am to hurting myself. No one gets it I’m in so much pain

Are you taking any meds?

HotSouthernMess · 26-30, F

@Lostpoet yes I think it’s part of the problem. And I stopped hormonal contraceptives and it’s made me a total wreck

@HotSouthernMess You should tell your doctor you are feeling this way the next time you see him.

Are you getting professional help for your depression? Or trying to manage it alone?

HotSouthernMess · 26-30, F

@Fernie I need to go to counseling

@HotSouthernMess Please, do that. Your depression is having a profound impact on your hubby and relationship. You can't expect others to be able to deal with your depression...it will destroy everything unless you get help. Been there

Really really sorry you are going through this. I’ve been there several times. You husband did sign up for the program. For better or worse. Maybe try thinking of another way to express your pain. Men need to save someone. Perhaps ask for his help to get you through the rough spots. Speak of his strength, etc. Some people aren’t very empathetic so be prepared for that. If that doesn't work there are good people here that are good listeners and experience with depression. Big hugs..🤗

@JoyfulSilence what the hell is this comment about?

HotSouthernMess · 26-30, F

@Fernie it’s a hug I think

@HotSouthernMess Blocked. I am sick of her. Always bitching.

Sure you need to be heard and your husband has to know how you doing. Just don't push on him too hard, you need a female friend to talk to.

I’m so sorry. Lots of people don’t understand clinical depression and don’t get that it’s not something you can just “snap out of” at will. Is counseling available ? Even through a crisis hotline ? 🙁
