It sounds as though when you go to group therapy you need to talk - not just listen. Also, if you are struggling with depression, I hope you will post over in the Depression forums. Lots of people who will listen and offer support (and advice if you ask for it).

I suspect your mom doesn't understand what depression is (her response is typical to what I heard in my life) and it is possible that your husband husband is uncomfortable because he doesn't understand it and possibly wishes there was some way to "fix" it. (My experience has been that men want to fix things and are rarely good at just listening).

I wish you the best. I too struggle with depression and sometimes it isn't easy.
