Depression is Ruining my Marriage
I have been thinking about this for a few weeks now and noticing a few things here and there and tonight I realised this
Depression is ruining my marriage!
My husband and I have been married for 5, going on 6, years and together for 8. He knew when we met that I had a few problems but not all of it. I have hid self harm and a lot of my dark past from everyone for years. 2 years ago I gave birth to our beautiful son and since then I can't control it any more.
I have been hospitalized twice and am now on antidepressants, much to my dismay. My husband is struggling to understand why I act the way I do and why I have become this angry, resentful person. He told me the other day that he is preparing for divorce, just in case I don't return from my trip back home in the US. He also told me that he would keep our son because he doesn't think I would be able to raise him properly....
Sorry to ramble on and I probably don't make much sense, I just am struggling to see the point in everything right now. I WANT that happy family and life but it feels like I will NEVER get there.
Has anyone else been through anything remotely similar???
Hello, @Anwar88
I'm so sorry to hear you're going through something like this. :( I can imagine how hard it is to cope with the depression in the first place, let aside to also live with the perspective of losing your family. I hope everything goes well and you'll get the support that you need.. take care of yourself
@Anwar88 I am sorry this is happening to you. I have never been married, but I can tell you that it is hard to balance a relationship and depression. I am not saying it is impossible though. Maybe you could benefit from couple's counseling. I hope you are able to work things out.
