i'm sorry for your pain, dach, and i empathize with all my heart.

I'm sorry you are so sad. People can be so greedy sometimes and take all your kind acts for granted. I'm sending you some hugs and hope that you feel better soon!

he doesnt understand and he is frustrated and scared....he wants his wife back!
sorry hunnie but look at me now this is how you are
have you seen a doctor?? tell him you are not well dont say youre ill just not well. he needs reassurance that you will be better
a cold or the flu he can deal with but mental illness is not touchable and needs the help of a professional. hes going to have to carry the ball for a while its that simple. best of luck hope this helped

He does understand and is propably a little scared but he is just so frustrated with me because I am not taking care of HIS NEEDS if you know what I mean. HE NEEDS that like drugs, or alcool. I'm not there, I don't have it to give right now. I would rather shoot myself than take care of HIS NEEDS!

WHY!

It is his business to take care of himself. It is yours to take care of you. No wonder you are depressed! You have come to the right place. No life should be lived like that, and you can learn how to "trade up" here! Keep coming back!

can i hear a here here....know how you feel...gotta make you number one...no one else will..i understand your pain.

has he ever been a giving person? 24 yrs is along time, has it always been very one sided? being mad or upset because you arent in the mood, so to speak, happens with pple that have no depression at all. has he tried to learn about depression, as in ever read a book, or listened to how it makes you feel?

if this is an ongoing thing, you might write him a letter and explain in detail how you feel with depression, and what you would like him to do when you get that way. marriage is sometimes 80/20 sometimes 20/80, but all in all it should even up to 50/50. just as you are there for him when he is ill, he needs to realize you need his patience when you arent well. i think some pple just dont know what to do, and get frustrated, and often end up taking it out on the one thats depressed.

its his business to take care of you and yours to take care of him, as far as i see it. and i dont agree with the notion of "trading up" either. the grass may look greener, till you find out it is merely astro turf. best wishes

well if by his needs youre refering to sex then thats his problem there is a thing called compassion and he is seriously lacking. you dont need that kind of pressure right now. if you go to the doc take him with you and have the doctor spell iy out for him. if that doesnt work there is always the comfy couch for him

This is why i'm so sad!
He has been to the doctors with me and has even met my therapist.
He told me last week he would give all the time in the world to get better. NOT!
I have written him dozens of letters, e-mails, we've talked for hours. He's come in from work a few times last week to find me in a ball crying my eyes out.
He believes that he goes to work everyday and since I am a housewife that should be my job. How messed up is that! I have done my job for 24 years, I can't take a vacation? OMG!

theres an idea...vacation....does your mother live close by?? if not invite her to stay for a week
