I avoided this forum when I was in a good place and now I am feeling so guilty because ........... well ........ here I am!
I have so many posts to go and read .......... I am in a bad way - feeling my depression crashing in for no reason at all! My husband's words ............"shouldn't be depressed" !!!!!! Frustrating since I know that and still can't control it. Very bleak and sad right now. No reason to be .. just am - and that sucks!

It's really hard to understand depression when you're on the outside looking in. He's probably frustrated and sad, too, because if he's like me, he wants to be able to help you and he can't. It's a very helpless feeling watching someone you love live in pain without being able to help, or really understand. Please point him to some resources where he can learn more about depression. "How you can survive when they're depressed" and "Depression Fallout" by Anne Sheffield are two good ones. He can't fix your depression for you, but he can learn to manage his own understanding so that he doesn't exacerbate it by making statements out of frustration like "you shouldn't be depressed". Thinking of you Sabrina... LMo

I am sorry you are feeling depressed. I know what you mean though, I avoided this forum when I was feeling very good(maybe hypomanic)--I was afraid I might "catch"someone else's depression. Then I was feeling depressed myself and felt like I didn't have the right to come after ignoring the forum. Now I am feeling a little better again...so we'll see. Good thoughts and wishes going your way. (((hugs))) Meta
