Husband is thinking about leaving me due to my depression

 A couple of months ago my husband told me he wasn't sure if he was in love with me anymore. He said he is tired of dealing with my depression, plus we also deal with a son who is a recovering drug addict. Before he told me this I was doing so well and now I'm all messed up.

You are so welcome...

Please keep posting and let us know how things are going. I am sorry for what you are going through. Have you sought counseling for your depression? It does really help you to cope. I am sure that your husband will be there for you, he may just be a little frustrated, but I am sure that he loves you very much.

Keep trying, take it one day at a time. And know that we are here for you.

Hugs, Karen

Karen my husband us full of major anger. His sick of me being ill & my son is a full time job.

I took effexor for manymany years. It did good for me, I just recently switched to pristiq because I had to have such a high dose of effexor (375mg). I also take abilify which goes well with effexor. It is a mood stabilizer. That might be something you would like to think about.

You will get through this, try not to be pessimestic about what is going to happen. Let things just happen. You are underminding your self by thinking everything is going to turn out bad. ONe day at a time sweetie. That is the way to go. One moment at a time if you have to. I am glad taht you are seeing a counselor. It really does help a lot. I have been going for years. I do have a good counselor which helps. And I see a psychiatrist too.

I hope that this helps some. think good thoughts. Have fun, let him know that you tire easily. I think you deserve to have a great time at the lakehouse.

Hugs, Karen

Lakehouse girl....I went through a similar situation. When my symptoms were very bad and I was so low my husband walked out on me. He did no believe in depression. His attitude was "pull up your boot straps and deal". I got so tired of hearing that and frustrated with myself because I could not do as he asked. I found out later after hitting bottom and attempting suicide that he was the cause of a lot of my symptoms becoming worse. I giving all of myself to keep him happy and I lost who I was or who I thought I was supposed to be . Dont let that happen to you You are not to blame....it is an illness.

Much love and sympathy
Happliless
