I think his idea of seeing the doctor is a good one. If you are on meds now they do not seem to be doing their job so maybe you need to take a look at things and go over your meds with the doctor. I think sitting your husband down for a distraction fee serious conversation is in order. I think you should "schedule" it as coming up with a time and day you both agree to. There should be no phones, tv or kids to distract you. I think you need to sit down ahead of time and write how you feel and what you want to say- and also make a pros and cons list. If after all that he still downplays things I think you need to insist very strongly that he attend counseling with you. Remember: conversation doesnt mean confrontation.

I’ve always been a home body. I just feel like I’m going through the motions. I’m not really living. I just tried to tell my husband what is going on and all he had to say was go to the dr. I see s de every 3 mo and take meds every day. He said probably the winter blues and they will go away with spring. But what am I supposed to do now? He finally walked out and I was crying. Don’t know what to do.
