Hi, I have two young kids and my husband has severe depression. He's always had depression but its severity goes up. Our kids have disabilities and it's hard work. I'm really aware that my husband's depression is not how he actually feels or thinks and that he can't snap out of it. But it's been so hard on me, I'm worn out. I have to care for him and my kids. I'm having physically symptoms which I know are a result of my own anxiety and stress. My anxiety is worse, it's always been mild-moderate but it's worse. I feel pulled in 50 different directions and it makes it hard to prioritise. I feel isolated and tired and cranky. I don't know what to do next.
