You know how you feel and what you are thinking. He only knows what you show. And it sounds like you are showing little to nothing in the way of love. I'm assuming that you take your meds every day even though you don't really feel like it. You take them because they make you feel better right?? So there is something you can do about it. If you truly love your husband you need to tell and show him every chance you get because from your mention of him in other posts, he sounds like a real keeper.

I'm not sure why I can't show him or tell him I love him. I can guess that it's because I'm a private person and don't really like to show affection in front of other people. My parents never did that, so maybe that's why I'm not comfortable with doing it. But I have changed since my diagnosis because I would be more affectionate to him when we were first dating and married. I would always tell him I love him and hold hands everywhere we went. Now we've just gotten in the habit of not holding hands in public, it's like a special occasion when I do grab his hand.
