Absolutely. I work creating disability packages for companies and Mental and Nervous provisions are included as a standard. More than likely your employer provides a plan that gives you a 2 year...
BD- I feel you my friend. It's nuts. My wife has been screaming divorce for 2 months now. I've told her a million times that it's not what I want- there's REALLY no reason for it but she goes on and...
B.D. Let me tell you that I was EXACTLY where you are a few short months ago. Your posts would have been exactly what I would have written back in August of 07. I honestly never paid much attention...
OK. The toughest part has arrived, I have to do something because she is really losing control. First, she comes in last night and tells me that she went to the local strip club and applied for a job...
good news. I just talked to the counselor and I'm meeting with him alone tonight. He does want to know my opinions on the marriage and I plan on revealing everything about her behavior and history to...
Hello everyone. It's just me posting an update, probably more for the therapeutic aspect for myself because there's really not much to update. Over the past week my wife seems slightly manic in the...
Hey everyone. I woke up yesterday to a revelation. I'm letting it all get to me and it's changing me. I used to be so affectionate and loving- now I use her moods and behavior as a reason to stop...
Thanks again everyone. Teresa- I have no idea who or where you are- but please know that there is a family that is still together today, and you are a part of the reason why. As long as I can...
any success stories?? I'm REALLY looking for reasons to believe that my wife will get better....
Shy- you were absolutely right- counseling was not what I expected at all, and while I was a bit frustrated when we left, I guess I find encouragement just in the fact that she showed up. She was...
Thank you Teresa. Your post gives me reason to hang in there a little longer with my own depressed/BP wife. I know she needs me, regardless of how she treats me or talks to me....
wifeofdepression- thanks for the depressionfallout website. I really cannot believe how similar all of our stories are....
Thanks again to everyone. Your words and encouragement are really helping. I hear you Shy about not stopping telling her that I love her. The downside is its tough for me to continuously put myself...
I really feel like I'm the one losing the grip on reality. What I have is a wife who no longer sees anything positive in our relationship and here I am trying to convince her that there is. Does that...
If anyone reading this has beaten or at least acknowledged their Depression and is/has taken steps to get better. Can you let me know what may have inspired you to do so?...
I'm back. Thanks so much to all of you. I appreciate the support. Please believe, I am definitely taking the "knife incident" very seriously. However, here's where that conflict comes in. In the...
Thanks again. I'm trying so hard to keep the faith but it's literally the greatest challenge of my life. I've recently begun reading the bible and what I've learned is before we can enter heaven- we...
Thank you for responding. She's been in and out of counseling since she was 16 (she's 30 now). I'm praying she starts again SOON but like I said, she's convinced herself that she's no different than...
Wow Cris. Just know that you are certainly not the only one going through this. I just made my 1st post here and then after reading yours- I should have just did a copy/paste. Man- I could not love...
This is the 3rd time I've started this post today. I have so much in my head and heart that needs to get out so that I can re-energize and start again. 6 months ago I finally was able to accept the...
