I have never been to a doctor regarding this ...whatever it is....., but forget it I guess...I told my husband that I was going to go see a doc bout this and he blew!!! BIG TIME. He said "I have watch your mother for 12 years, and I dont want you to be like that, Just get over it, you must have to much time on your hands,why dont you do something...its just cause your so lazy" I tryed to tell him how it could be a chemical thing (because thats what it is with my mom) and he freaked....grabed my cat and slambed it against the wall. I guess I wont be going to a doctor..............what am I going to do? ...anyways I took an online test, one I scored a 86 severe depression was 58. or something like that shoot....I thought I was going to see if that was my problem, now I just live like this I guess.

OMG thats horrible... as if he takes it out on your cat hmmm...now what? If he can hurt an animal like that it doesn't say much about his character i'm sorry. You really should find a way to talk to a doctor and maybe a safer place for your cat!

hmmm...now what? hmmm...now what?
Do you have someplace you can go? A safe place for you and your cat?
Please, your top priority is you. No, you don't have to live like that!!! Are there any Woman's Shelter's near you? I hate to say this, but how long before it's you he's slamming you against the wall.
I speak from experience, hon.
Please, take care of you. hmmm...now what? hmmm...now what?

Hello AR.
Welcome to Psych Central. I am sorry that you are having a hard time getting the help you need at this time. If you have no other option at least go to a general practitioner and get the meds you need at this time, hide them and take them if you must. You deserve to feel better. Also if you are lower to moderate income and in the United States then there is county mental health services that are low priced or free. There are Also Free Med Programs as well for Free medication. If I were you I would make an appointment and go yourself to get the help you need, and make arrangements with the therapist not to call you because you are in a situation at home where your husband must not know you are getting therapy. The therapist can help when they know your situation. Take care and good day Soidhonia

Do what you must, even if you dont tell him, if you dont take care of YOU, noone else is going to, especially not HIM

goodluck

Well, that's sad. I hope you can do what you know to do, and see a doctor anyway. Obviously your spouse doesn't think straight... I mean, what has denial got to do with taking care of yourself? As if you can deny there's something wrong will make it go away? Does he do that with your mother? (Maybe he just wishes you did?) And to take out such an emotional reaction on an innocent being! I mean, on you and the cat hmmm...now what? I think I would be depressed too if I had to live with someone so reactive hmmm...now what? Maybe he's afraid that if you seek help he'll have to own up to needing help too?

To me, he isn't going to change. You need to get the help you need, imo. These things don't correct themselves on their own... they aren't "all in our head" ya know?

(((hugs)))

I Agree...You need a safe place.

It really upsets me when men act like that - it gives us a bad name. Then you have all those stupid commercials, TV programs, and movies that stereotype us all like that. Mean, abusive, only after "one" thing, etc...

Sorry, I'm off my soap box now. Please get the help you need.

Stay safe...

OMG! Hun, U need to see a doctor if u think something is wrong w/ u, and i think your husband may need some anger management. Only you know when something is not right in your mind or with your body, dont let someone else tell you that your making it up or whatever. My Fiance tried to act like that when i was diagnosed w/ depression, and I fianally got advice on this site to have him see my Pdoc to get him to understand the seriousness of this sickness. He pretty much thought i could "make myself better" and let me tell ya, he think different now. Honestly though, the way your husband is reacting to u telling him something isnt right, is really scarry, and with this sickness, that behavior will only make it worse, plus what did the kitty do??? hmmm...now what? Take Care, and i would definitely see someone for your own piece of mind.
