First time I've ever posted so hopefully I'm doing this right. My wife who I fear is depressed or bipolar swears she isn't. I'm no expert so I'm coming to you all for some advice. She has had two relatives on her mom's side commit suicide. She has lost 60lbs in an attempt to feel better about herself, that didn't work her words. Has been promoted up to a supervisor at work, youngest one they have, that didn't make her happy again her words. Isolates herself in our bedroom away from myself and our 10 year old son. Suffers from migrains and has always had an upset stomach. Seems to be very lethargic and can't seem to get enough sleep. I know we are not experts but does anyone else have experience with these problems. I love her dearly and feel ashamed that I have let her down by not seeing this and using cruel words to try and get her to show some emotion. Any advice is appreciated.

I want to thank everyone sooo much. It looks like she is committed to getting a divorce as she is not happy and I'm afraid I don't have much leverage here. I'm trying to be as supportive as I can but she seems to be in a different place that I can't reach. I'll keep up the "goodfight" as they mean the world to me. Again thank all of you!!

I think a leaflet or getting her to look at a web page about depression....show her how similar her symptons are. Make her face this. " look...you do this and this" etc
Hopefully being confronted with the facts might help her to open her eyes... I must say that you must be an extreemly caring person to go the extra mile and find advice here for her!! 'applauds'
