Sometimes I feel like I'm living a double life....
I put sooo much effort into not letting the symptoms of my depression show that most of my friends and family don't even know about it. And the few that I have told felt that my smile always hid it from them.
One of the few people that I have trusted with actually knowing what is going on with me is my husband. I try extremely hard to make sure that my depression doesn't affect him or our way of life.
But I just can't do it anymore....even with the effort that I have put into my relationship with him my husband has gone as far as to say that my depression is making him depressed....he tells me I need help...
I KNOW I need help and am actively pursuing it so what is his problem....
I've read a lot about depression and how to overcome it and am doing everything I can to get through it.
I just wish the people that are supposed to care about me the most could see that. I feel like they don't even see me anymore they just see the depression.
