Having a tough 3 weeks with my sadness and exhaustion kicking in again. My spouse is carrying our 3rd child and has been so sick she hasn’t been able to support my sadness. Anyone have any good ideas? It’s tough being alone in this and my kids are starting to ask why I am sad

Have you talked to your wife about why you are sad?

Are you feeling sad because your spouse is sick and pregnant and kind of trying to cope with what she is dealing with, and your kinda left on your own more now to deal with everything...or do you feel sad and don't really have a grip on why you feel sad. That's depression....either way, ...I would say you should talk to your doctor about it. Your not alone, I'm glad your sharing about how your feeling here...I don't know if it'is at all possible for you to see a therapist, some do evening appointments, weekends, it would help I think sort things out about your feelings.

Thanks very much for the support

I do feel like I’m left on my own not only for my depression but to take care of the kids and work, which I feel like is just aggravating it more. I have tried to see my therapist twice but my wife got so sick that I had to cancel. I need to get there as I know that will help.
