A big hug and thank you to all of you it's very comforting to receive support. It's nice to be able to share with people who understand. My husband gets situationally depressed from time to time, but he's not mentally ill. He listens to me and tries to empathize. I couldn't ask for more.

I've tried to explain to him that to me depression is like having a broken leg. You can know that you have a broken leg and understand why you are in pain, but that doesn't make it hurt any less.
