by nature, i can find joy in even the simplest of things. i can shrug off the burden of my day when i walk through the door, by getting greeted by my cat, or a song on the radio, or watching the birds at my feeder. my husband on the other hand sees no joy in anthing...he suffers from deep bouts of depression, and anxiety centering around his job, which spills over into our private life and effects his son and myself. i try very hard to be supportive and loving, and to keep a "normal" enviroment for his 16 y.o. son. after having his meds bumped up and seeing a psychologist, who instructed him on the tools that may help him through this, and that might offer long term solutions to his problems, my husband is unwilling to even attempt to use these tools. if the answer is found in a pill, and requires any effort, he's not in. i dont know if this is a part of the depression/anxiety etc. or if this is a fear mechanism he is using, or if he just isnt willing to try. i am at the end of my tether. i try to communicate with him, but it only seems to deepen his depression..... any thoughts.. suggestions.
please
