My husband has been in treatment for depression for a year now. Two weeks ago he attempted suicide and I never knew. He overdosed on his perscribtion meds. I was so upset when he woke in the hospital two days later and also confessed that the year before his hospital visits were also for attemted suicide attempts. We all thought it was reactions to his meds just never knew it was all him. I can't understand why he would leave me and his kids...why his love for us can't bring him to not be this way. Why would this be the way to go?? What drives someone to this dispair? What is it about depression that makes it differant from me being upset and getting over it?? How could he leave me and why won't he discuss this with me. We've always talked and now I feel shut out..I don't understand.

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...
I'm so glad he's still with you and you have another chance to help him. Now you know and that had to be such a big thing for him.
Be supportive and try to understand, as best you can. It's not easy and remember...he isn't doing anything intentional, when they get in this frame of mind they can't think of anything but the pain. It's like a trance, that's the best way I can explain it.
Take care and I'll be praying for you,

Sometimes I sit and write, about things that make me happy, things that I am good at or enjoy. other days the dark side pops up. I should stop throwing them out. I might get some insight............... Does your husband take any medications? I finally started years ago, it lifts the cloud.
Your husband does not want to leave you and your kids, he is so much pain he can't think of anything but the darkness he is in. I am so sorry for what you are going through. I know it is very painful for you as well. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I pray your husband gets the help he needs and finds his way out of the darkness.
