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 joined this forum because I am trying to help my husband who is depressed. I am also trying to get a better understanding of this awful disease myself. I have been by my husband's side for the last 8 yrs. through thick and thin dealing with his depression and anger. He will not go for help because it has not helped in the past.
He has isolated himself from me which has left me feeling hurt and lonely. I am not angry at him because of this because I know the wonderful person he really is. I have tried everything to get him to return to me emotionally but I have seem to fail at that. He's even contemplating divoce.
What are some things that have helped all of you? I'm reaching out to all of you for advice because unfortunately you all live with this awful disease.
I have posted here before and got some great input. Thank you very much for all your help.

Trust me I don't harp on him when he's down. I know that will not help the situation. Thank you for your advice.
Thank you all for your help! I really hope that all of you find the happiness that you deserve.
