I have a question?
What about the people in life of a depress person how are they coping? As I mention before my husband is depress. How can i cope with my own anger and fears. I understand that going to his therapist is an option. But what i really want to know is on a daily basis from the average Joe!  Thank you  Myart |

My husband caused my current depression by having an affair, treating me poorly for a year and a half, then leaving me for 6 weeks, then continuing to lie to me and keep in contact with his little sweetie for another 5 months till he finally broke off contact. We have been going to therapy which has largely focused on him and his conflict phobia up until now. And I am the depressed one.
Each person will probably deal with things in different ways. My husband is more supportive now that he realizes some of my behaviors which he didn't like (and didn't tell me about) were related to my illness. He's actually very good to me now and quite concerned and helpful. Depression WILL affect everyone in the family. You should go to couseling even if he won't--will help you deal with what is there. |

My husband takes it personally and wonders what he is doing to make me feel so bad.

My husband is frustrated because he can't make it all go away. I have to remind him often than none of it is anyone's fault.
