Good morning

[tppppppp]

My wife has depression from my depression. My anxiety and stress turned into depression and sleep disturbances. And I leaned on her too much. I told her of my dark thoughts and my suicide attempt. She's now dealing with depression. I gave that to her. I feel so empty right now. In tired of feeling empty. I have so much good in my life. I know why I can't see the good. It's my depression that won't allow me to. I will keep fighting. I told my psychologist that I don't want to beat this right now. I just want to learn to live with it. I just want to reach 70%. Right now I fluctuate between 10-40%. I love you all. We are all in this together.

Yes all in this together! Also wanted to let you know that I had success with mirtazipine (your previous post) in the past and eventually weaned off. I've recently started again due to some newer concerns. Best wishes.

hey that medication is pretty horrible. just letting you know it cause me to gain weight. That has a high steroid in it be careful of what you are taking.

Thanks for the concern but for me, anxiety brings depression and depression eliminates my appetite . It’s been a life saving drug for me. Others made my anxiety worse. The meds are really very different for everyone!

Yeah i know what you mean my mom had the same problems with attempting to kill herself it's not easy

Hope your wife is feeling better now you are learning to cope with anxiety and stress.

Was there a reason for your suicidal thoughts and did your feel guilty that it was due to her not knowing what you were going through? Guess sharing can have side effects which can lead to stress for both of you. Glad you believe you have turned the corner. Women can be more prone to anxiety and depression due to biological reasons so take care.
