I agree with Christina. I'm in a similar situation to yours. My wife doesn't understand nor wants to understand.
I take my meds for myself, I treat myself (with my pdoc of course), and advocate for myself. My wife has no idea what meds I'm on. And that sucks. I wish it was different but it's not and it's not going to change.
If I'm having a bad day, that's just the way it is. I expect no empathy anymore. I work through it on my own and deal with things myself.
Take care of yourself and be happy with the fact that you have professional support and have treatments available.
