I have clinical depression and generalized anxiety disorder. On top of that (which is being managed - for the most part - with medication), I'm going through a lot right now. My mom has been very sick for months (which has made me her caregiver), my dad has just been sentenced to 50 years in prison, my mom and I are fighting to pay the bills and buy other essentials, etc. That's what I'm dealing with.

My husband is busy dealing with his family, which annoys him to death. They're constantly coming over and wearing out their welcome. Because they're always over, he feels like he never has time to himself. He's just sick of all of them. Lately, he's been a little depressed and withdrawn because of them. Despite my needing him because of my own problems, I've been trying to give him the space that he needs.

It's been hard for me this week because he's wanted to be alone so often, but today is the last straw. I really need him. I need to be comforted and supported; especially because of my mom's illness. Unfortunately, he's feeling very tired and anti-social today. I told him that I really need to talk to him, but you can tell he isn't up to talking to anyone at all.

I don't know what to do. I feel like I've stretched myself thin giving him the space he needs. I've been putting all my feelings on the back burner for a few weeks now and I feel like it's my turn to be given what I need. I try to remember that people can only give what they can give and that it's unfair to expect or demand more, but it's still frustrating. I have no one else to talk to. No friends, no family, no therapist.

What am I supposed to do? I'm trying to be fair about this, but I don't feel like I can handle anymore, all alone. I need his support and, as unfair as my feelings seems, it makes me angry that he can't pull himself out of his mood to comfort me. Should I just continue to give him space or should I just put my foot down and tell him that I need him and that he should be there for me? Any advice you have is greatly appreciated.
