Hey, I'm so thankful I found this site. I don't have anyone to talk to in my life right now. I've been battling depression for years and probably need to change meds as I'm down in the hole again. My work is suffering and I'm in danger of losing my job and I feel completely incapable of dealing with life. My marriage of 25 years is in the crapper because I have a husband who is a good guy but totally clueless and wrapped up in himself. I have two wonderful kids 23 & 12 -- with my youngest daughter at home. I feel really guilty about what a drag I am with her and she's entering adolescence and really needs me to have my s**t together. I started counseling then changed it to marriage counseling and think i'm going to just go back to one on one, but I still feel like I'm sinking. I do know that I'm calling my doc tomorrow to see about changing my meds, but that takes a while to kick in. At least with this site I feel a little hopeful. Today is the first day I've ever considered admitting myself to the hospital, but I don't know what that would invlove. Oh well, I'll be posting and reading more. Thanks for letting me vent.

The clueless hit home...
Do you think you might be able to clue him in. I'm a big believer that generally speaking we are clueless when it comes to recognizing problems in orthers; as well as, how our behavior affects other people (for the good or for the bad)

I wouldn't put off increasing meds... and that wouldn't necessarily take a while to feel the effects... if you haven't had them adjusted in a while, that could be part of the issue... I agree with going to one on one counseling, if you can keep the marital also, then do so. (But I wouldn't see the same therapist for both.)
Not sure you can clue anyone in in the state you are now...depression tells us lies. TC
