I'm sorry that you are faced with your husband not understanding. I have been there and things didn't turn out so well with me which makes me glad to see that your husband may at least be willing to try and be educated on depression. My husband put me into a hospital 2 hours from my children because I woudn't "snap out of it" and stop trying to "embarrass him" in our small town by not leaving the house or not wanting to get out of bed. I went into the hospital because he threatened to take my kids away from me. I gave in and ended up being forced into ECT before he would "allow" me to come home. After a few weeks of that kind of treatment and I was willing to agree to anything he wanted if he would just let me come home. Pretty pathetic I know. That was several years ago and we have now been divorced for 5 years and my youngest just left for college a week ago so I am now all alone and having a very hard time pulling myself out of this depression. Which is how I found this website. Good luck!
