I’m sorry your wife isn’t able to understand more fully how you are managing this depression and how it is taking a lot of effort to maintain what your already doing.

If she’s so picky about how’s things are done at home then she should just accept that she should just do it herself and not have any resentment towards you. I know this specific issue is tough for a lot of couples mental illness or not.

Maybe she might benefit from seeing a T herself ??? Or couples counseling? Might help to get things out in the open and see where communication needs dusted off maybe compromises need made so you both will feel better??

Hang in there
Thanks @~Christina.

I've talked with her about couple's therapy but she's not open to it. It's not surprising because she was critical of me when I had a T.

I'm just hoping that I start feeling better so that I can help more at home. I hope to have some more motivation.
