Just really having a hard time and I've never been one to reach out to others. I thought this would pass. I have a hard time talking to others when it involves feelings, and I have so many things in my life to be happy about that I think I shouldn't feel this way. As much as I try I can't will it away. I've done everything I thought I should do. My doctor referred me to a therapist and I'm taking an antidepressant, going to therapy every week, but I still feel stuck. I have 4 beautiful children, and a husband that I am sure hung the moon, and I feel like I should be able to "snap out of it" for them. I've never been in a place like this before where I couldn't pull myself back on my feet and move on. The therapist has helped, and given me a lot of tools to help me cope. She says that I need to take a "leap of faith" and talk about things. Just wondering how others may have summoned up the courage to do this. I can't even admit my struggles to my own husband.

This is a good place to discuss things that you can't "talk" about ... somewhat like a proving ground or test place. Please don't feel like you should just be able to "snap out of it"...if depression cure was that simple, I think all of us would have snapped out of it a long time ago; I know that I would have. So, best to you. BTW, I try, with futility, to explain my struggle to my wife with varying degrees of success.

Hello & Welcome, Demck.

In my case it became much too obvious to hide. Make yourself at home here. Perhaps in time you will find effective ways of expressing yourself to your loved ones.

I agree it is not something we can just snap out of. If that were the case we would have done it. You are doing the right things by seeing a pdoc and a T. It is a process not an event. Be patient with yourself and give yourself permission to be how you are at the moment knowing you are working on it.
I would suggest reading and posting a lot on here. As regretful says it is a good proving ground.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
