Have you tried marriage counseling or even just therapy for yourself? I think that might be a good place to start. If you have chronic depression and your wife doesn't, she may never understand how you feel, how hard you try. I hope you are still trying to find the right medications that will help you. And therapy or marriage counseling and lots of self help for depression: eat well, get enough and good quality sleep, stay in the present - live one day or one hour at a time, exercise a bit every day, keep stress as low as possible in your life, etc. etc.

Start taking care of yourself as much as you take care of other people. You deserve it just as much as anyone else does. Treat yourself like you would your best friend if they were feeling like you are, what advice would you give them? Take that advice to heart for yourself. Love yourself.

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
Thanks for this!
