Spouse doesn’t understand my depression and anxiety and makes it worse with his selfishness. Now he says he may want to separate. Just looking for friends in same boat.

I feel the same way. My spouse is acting narcistic towards me. My depression, ptsd and anxiety disorders are difficult for me to handle alone-I feel invisible to her. Feel unloved and unwanted. I’m trapped.

I would describe my husband the same way - a narcissist. I see post on her sometimes of a spouse or significant other seeking help to understand their depressed spouse and I think how lucky that person is to have someone who cares. He won’t go to therapy and both my therapist and psychiatrist say I My depuro y get better until my marriage does.

In the same boat. Hi!

Hello!

in reply to fallen_leaf

Hi. My marriage is struggling too. He is very depressed and hasn't worked in over a year. We had to move our family in with his mother. It sucks. I have no support either. I work all the time and support my husband and daughter. I am very alone with no family of my own or any friends. Not one. Pm me if you want. I can so relate.
