I am so tired of living with a depressed wife

She is sitting there browsing her phone. That is why she paused the TV series she watches every day for hours.
She woke up during the night and was on her phone until she took the children to school. Obviously shouting with them why they were not ready on time.
She is full of fears. She fears of the future, fears of the financial situation, the future of the children. She cannot stand if something is not the way she wants. Interestingly she has energy to shout and yell. Several times a day.

But I am tired. I am tired of working in multiple jobs. I am tired of doing a full time work and running my business in after hours. I am tired of being neglected and ignored. I am tired of being forgotten. I am tired of working on positivity with children after they flooded with negativity from their mother.
I am tired of life. This life.

She is sitting there. I am looking at her. I know somewhere below the surface there is that woman I loved. The one who was fun, intellectually exciting, full of energy and positivity. Even sexy, mind you. I have not seen that woman for more than 10 years.

Nothing I do can change her way. Well, it's not entirely true, because I really can make things worse if I wanted. But I can't do anything to improve the situation. The best I can do is to conserve it. But I don't want it. I want a new life. We learned in Biology you can start a new life whitout closing another. That is a lie.

You have to kill something first to start something new. You know what most people fear to become a criminal? The guilt. Not the legal consequences.
My wife is dependending on me. At the minimum, financially. I can't do it.

I lost this life. Maybe the next one will be luckier.

Has she had any help, Counselling?

I’m not into medication but changing diet can help, cut out processed foods, eat naturally and take iodine and Celtic sea salt which is full
Of minerals our body needs.

@SW-User Nope. Partially because she believes she is different, so what works for someone else will not work for her. She tried to lose weight at some point which was not successful, so even changing diet doesn't work on her. As she believes.
But still I cannot initiate any of those on her. She has to.

I’m not talking about losing weight, I mean changing foods for the health benefits.
Foods are full of empty nutrients and can affect people’s moods.

@SW-User I understood what you meant. I just brought up an example why she does not believe anything would help her.

Must be draining for you.
