I find it harder to talk to my spouse. She takes it pretty hard when I tell her how much I'm suffering because she cares. It's important for her to know otherwise she tends to blame herself or think I've lost interest in her and gets lonely. When she knows it's because I'm depressed she is more understanding.

With a therapist they are bound to confidentiality and I can walk away at anytime. That makes it easier to talk but there was still some work to open up and trust someone. The financial roadblock is a harder one to deal with. My therapist works on a sliding scale and only charges me half.

Some psych meds are cheap and can help with some symptoms but it takes effort to find ones that works and there isn't a garraunte they will help but it us better that just doing nothing and suffering.
