Yeah, it became very clear to me that i was allowing her mood determine mine. I was in a crappy mood and that made her upset and it just snowballed. But I know my reasons were good for making this...
Hey everyone. I haven't posted in awhile for a variety of reasons. To recap, had a severe depressive episode last summer which put my marriage on the rocks and another earlier this spring which...
I also told her that it will never be okay with me for her to be out with single men late at night and into the morning. Especially single men ive never met, and men she obviously doesnt want me to...
Well, her answers to my questions of wondering what she was thinking seemed off to me. She just kept telling me that "she didnt know" she didnt know about anything regarding her feelings. So i...
Ok everyone, big news. I asked her a few days ago about what her thoughts were concerning the marriage. She told me the same thing she had been for a month. Obviously i am not important enough to her...
She came by today to grab a few things. I havent really said that our girl is my step daughter. I see her as my daughter and i leave it as that, shes my daughter and i love her the same. We were...
i know that i need to find a life of my own. ive been golfing more and spending time with friends. but it all seems so unsatisfying. maybe thats because im still not back to where i need to be. golf...
Ive told her parts of it. Im afraid of her feeling like im being desperate, or guilting her into a decision. thats what ive done, ive been really manipulative and i dont want to do that any more. She...
She hasnt told me she's willing to go yet. but im thinking she is. i know i cant be calling her or texting her all the time, but i miss her so much. some days it seems like she is fine with texting...
thanks everyone, talking to her the past few days, it looks like she'll be at her parents house for at least a couple more weeks. She is still able to talk about long term stuff though, so that gives...
As far as getting out, its just stuff like going golfing or hanging out at a friends house, visiting my sisters. Just wanting to leave the house in general. I havent wanted to leave the house at all,...
A few days before i realized again that i was depressed, she suggested we go to counseling. I responded the way i usually do, "you dont know what youre talking about", "finally, i'll be right for...
I am feeling better, we have done a lot of talking about what has gone on. We've only been married since September of 08. Weve spent most of our time as a couple struggling through my depression, and...
Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with depression last year and went through a pretty rough patch for awhile. Posted on here for a couple months and havent posted for quite some time. I went off my meds...
I'm fully aware that she doesn't want sex. Holding hands while driving in the car makes her mad. I don't think she is ready to be intimate in any way. That is what bothers me. She won't tell me how...
Thanks Karen. Today has been okay. Another thing that has been getting me down has been the lack of just spending time with my wife alone. I enjoy spending time together with our daughter, but...
Things went well. She almost immediately suggested I start taking the Prozac I was prescribed. It helped a lot just having someone understand the way I felt and my reactions to things. I've felt...
Ugh, I was watching the 20/20 or Dateline thing last night about Albinism. If any of you saw it you will know what I mean. My wife and I were watching it and when the part about how they are...
Just hang in there. That really does sound like a situation that would leave a person feeling helpless. My situation isnt anything like yours but some advice would be to try and work toward getting...
Update. Ive felt pretty good the last couple days but I feel like i could have a breakdown at any second here. She told me a few months ago she wished i would "take charge". i thought that was fair....
Im going through a lot of the same stuff. I dont know if im really depressed either. I have an appt monday with my dr. and another appt wed. with a therapist. Ive felt this way for a couple months...
thanks a lot lucky lindy. youve hit the nail on the head. i think im standing up to her at the wrong times. it used to be when we were first together she wouldnt think of walking on me. she wouldnt...
Thanks Karen, thats exactly how i feel. I guess with how insecure ive been, im worried that these things i need to do for our family will be taken the wrong way. My mind just gets to racing and i...
i should note hboy. ive not yet been officially diagnosed with any type of depression, but have an appt with my family practitioner on monday of next week, and an appt with a psychologist on wed. So...
Shes mentioned to me how she could tell me to do anything and i would. I just dont want her to feel like i am just doing something like the dishes or vacuuming or whatever, just so she will like me...
The worst of it is, i know ive been a drain on her and that hurts, i want to start doing more things for her but i feel like ill be perceived as being weak or desperate for doing more. She already is...
well, we got in another fight and she went to her parents house with my stepdaughter. i actually feel pretty good considering. i called my best friend and he came over and we talked about everything...
Ive taken a very active interest in dealing with this since i came to believe that i am depressed. ive found a meeting here in town and ive decided to start writing. and started on the message...
I would honestly say i do feel depressed and insecure. i was best man at my friends wedding a while ago and couldnt stand the pressure of it all. Spent the whole night in the hallway alone. Another...
i thought this is something id have written myself just a few years ago. i had trouble in high school dating and fell in love with a girl who thought of my as just a friend. I thought about suicide...
hi jenn, my cousin is currently dealing with his alcoholism. he worked with me in the family business and his drinking affected his work and my uncle told him he was done working and he was taken to...
This is my first post and I only came to accept the fact that I am depressed last week. Ive been married to a woman who i love with all of my heart for a year. Weve been together just a year and a...
