Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I found out last week that I have Fibromyalgia & Bursitis. I have been married for 2 1/2 years. I love my husband, but he is verbally, mentally & emotionally abusive to me at times when he doesn't get his way on things. He has said some VERY hurtful things to me. For instance, a marriage is nothing but Co-Habitation with "benefits." That EVERY job I have had has been an underachievement job. He has NOT been happy with ANY job that I have had & had to quit many of them because of this. I now want to do a course online to get a certificate in Medical Transcription. He is T-Totally against this & will NOT help me out with it financially.
When I went to see the Rheumatologist, he said that I may NEVER be able to work out side the house again. My husband EXPECTS me to get better, go out & get a decent paying full-time job WITH benefits, go to school, take care of the house, etc. I told him I could NOT do that. He is ADIMANT that I do this. I tried to compromise with him & he will NOT budge. I told him I was willing to go to work part-time if I was able to while I was in school & he says NO, that will not work. I am so depressed & hurt over this. (We can make it on what he makes, but don't have the money for the "extra" things in life). He says that even though I am his "wife," I am NOT his responsibility. :'( We have been in marriage counseling for over a year now. He won't even listen to what our counselor says or suggests to him. I do NOT want to divorce, but I may have NO other option. The stress is WAY too much & it's NOT helping me get any better. (My Fibro is in the severe state right now). He KNOWS that stress is the #1 cause of Fibro, but he still says cruel & mean things to me. He will be nice for 3-4 days, very supportive, loving etc. & then BOOM! He goes back to being like a monster to me with his verbal, mental & emotional abuse. I don't know what to do, I'm LOST & so scared!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You've put up with his shit for long enough.
He doesn't deserve your time or your love.
I know it will be scary but leave this bastard before his abuse wears you down completely.
I am here for you if you need to talk xxxx
I know it's a scary proposition but that'#s what you need to do otherwise you're going to waste your life on this bastard.
