I have been tweaking my meds for awhile now and now that I finally have gotten on a good medicine regimen by my Pdoc I am feeling more myself. Since I have been feeling better I have noticed how mean, belittling, and angry my husband. He hasn't changed at all. This has always been him but I feel good enough about myself to realize this is not normal and I deserve better. Has anyone else had a "wake up" or realization of reality after getting yourself feeling better. I'm sure my upcoming separation will put me back into a depression but I atleast know I'm making the right decision. Others around me are happy, they think my separation is way over due. Sorry to rant, just venting

I can relate to what you wrote. You do deserve better. Stick to your healthy decision even when you start feeling down during the separation. (Yes, it most likely will put you back in a depressive mood - but you now have the tools and a good med regime which can help you through).

I wish you the best. There is a great life out there for you after leaving a toxic marriage. I know mine is 100% better.

Hello, Starchild3! This is of general importance:

While in the midst of a depressive episode you were not fully processing social/environmental messages. When the depression lifted somewhat, you were then able to see things more clearly.

My situation is different from yours, but I am certain depression greatly interfered with my ability to correctly understand my social/vocational world, a world of which I am no longer a part.

Thank you for raising this subject.

I wish the best for you! Keep us updated on your situation. It's going to be a long hard road ahead separating with your husband, but just remember you have tons of friends to support you and EVENTUALLY you will be happier without him in your life. I learned that the hard way.
Thanks for this!

I know it will be hard but I honestly think alot of my depression came from this relationship. I was too tired and depressed to argue back and stand up for myself. Now I know I deserve better
