You did not mention his eating and sleeping patterns...if they have changed. In any case, maybe he should talk to his doctor to see? I know this is really hard on you and i can see your frustration and understand you feeling like that. I am not good at the support stuff but a lot of other people on here are. Just want to let you know someone is out there reading and offer what little support i can. Wish you and hubby the best!

I agree, I have gone through a b'out of deperession back in the day, so I know what it feels like. I have discussed depression with him in the past, and he says he's fine. He has seen a psychiatrist before, but he didn't like her, so he stopped going. He was prescribed anti-anxiety meds, but didn't take em'. I've tried setting up another appointment with a psychiatrist, but they say he must make the appointment himself. UGH! I wish I could bring him to my "shrink", but he doesn't think it's a good idea, he should have his own "shrink".
How can I bring it up to him again? It's difficult talking to him now, because I've been soooo crabby! I guess I can start with appologizing, and explaining how hard it can be for both of us. I want him to speak with a professional, I know it helps me a lot just talking about my thoughts with someone.
