Hi ~ I've been depressed since I was a child - but didn't get treatment until I was in my 20's. I did the therapy, hospitalization, antidepressant route, and today I feel quite good.
I need to take an antidepressant in order to function like a "normal" adult. (whatever normal is). I see it as just like a person who has diabetes, and needs insulin -- they need it in order to survive. Well, I need the antidepressant in order to survive too. Otherwise, I don't know WHAT I might do. 
There's no shame to needing to take one. Some of our most prominent people in the world have been depressed. If they had had an antidepressant at their disposal, I'm sure they would have taken one. 
If your husband feels that "getting your **** together is that easy, I wish him fleas in his armpits.  And why do you have to tell your husband anyway? If he finds out, so what? If he gets mad, tell him to take a flying leap.
God bless you and please take care of YOU. Hugs, Lee
