I have had depression all my life but in the past two years it has gotten worse. Well I have been married for almost 11 years and my husband is really starting to make me feel like he doesnt care. I have been so depressed and all he seems to do is put me down or tell me that I can get over depression if I want. I dont know what to do. I try to tell him when he says all that stuff that it only makes me worse but he doesnt seem to care....any suggestions?

Hi ((iamlost34)) - welcome to PC.

It is (sadly) quite common for people in our lives to not understand the pain we feel or how hard it is (impossible) to just "get over" being depressed. I hope in time that your husband is able to see that his attitude towards your depression isn't beneficial and that he tries to be more supportive. As for suggestions, do you go to a therapist? If you don't, that is something I'd strongly suggest. It can work wonders to just be able to talk to someone who won't judge you for what you say or how you feel. If you're not too crazy about that idea though, have you gone to see your doctor (GP) and told him/her about how you're feeling?

*hugs* take care of yourself and please post again soon - hope I've been at least a bit helpful!
