I have a feeling moving closer to family and being reconnected with your support system in a more intimate way would help you tremendously. IF you can't do this, try to look for volunteer opportunities in your community.

I know that volunteering has given me purpose again. I'm working towards a paid job, but volunteering has taken me out of the house.

There are also support groups!

Getting connected with people who experience similar affections can help you feel included. Support groups aren't for everyone, but you won't know until you try.

I think you are primarily experiencing a lot of loneliness and its making the depression worse. It seems you have become isolated and your husband is not terribly supportive. There is nothing wrong with seeing a pdoc/therapist. Nothing wrong with medication. However, we're social creatures and we crave human interaction!

(PC is a good support place too!)

The last thing I have to say is that how you experience depression is fairly common. Our brains process stress (depression) the same way as we would process a physical endangerment. That is why symptoms of depression often manifest themselves through physical ailments and weaken the immune system.

I hope you're able to get help soon!
