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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
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.
