This is such a huge problem for me! My husband does not understand AT ALL and frankly he never will. I've tried to explain to no avail. He can't grasp the concept of depression and he gets full on ANGRY when I don't just "snap out of it".

The biggest problem is that I get extremely irritable and can't stand to be touched. I deny him any physical affection, even just a hug. That's what makes him feel unloved. So I try to be aware of my emotions and understand when I'm not angry at him, really. I try to take deep breaths and allow a hug or a kiss. Unfortunately intimacy is out the window and I can't help that.
