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 will only address the issues that took place this month.
I received letter stating that I have to pay back my medical copays from 2019 because I made too much money in 2018 and veterans affairs would not cover it.
This could be up to $20,000 hopefully not more.
A week after that my wife informed me that I have to move out because she cannot take care of herself being around me because of my severe depression.
First I was suppose to move out after the new year. Then it's like she became a different person.
She became progressively more verbally abusive and gaslighted me all the time. If I said anything she would scream over me and say the most hurtful things she could come up with.
She said that she would make my life hell until I left.
A week before Christmas I couldn't take it anymore and I moved out.
At 39 I am separating from my wife and moved in with my grandma.
I am very lonely and have little hope. This is a so much to take at once.
Sorry to hear about the wife. That is hard, very hard. I know that I have had a bunch of hard spots over the past couple of years, but eventually, the dawn did come. I never believed it at the time, but looking back, it did come. You are a worthy person, and the dawn will come for you, but it will require a long walk in the gloom and dark. But keep moving forward. Relentless forward movement.
What did you do in the Service? I was a navy logistician. Came in enlisted got out as a Commander — a lot of good times but also a lot where you needed to embrace the suck.
