Low days

[LaGuera05]

I suffer from Depression and anxiety, the past couple of day have had me feeling really low, and to make things worse is my husband doesn't even try to understand, he says I'm just being lazy and falling into old patterns. I opened up to him more then I ever have about what I need from him and he just brushed it off. I have literally not 1 friend, I feel so alone.

I’m so sorry you’re not being supported at home. You are absolutely not being lazy. Depression steals so much of our energy. My husband does not understand either. I don’t think anyone can truly understand unless they’ve been there. I’ve found a lot of support through this site. A lot of people who suffer from anxiety and depression just like me. You are not alone 🙌🏼

Sorry you don't have your husband's support. You would think that having a partner will ease things. I am alone too, all my friends are away and my kids too, I have a daughter that lives with me but she has her own life, work and boyfriend, she is my only company when she is at home and most days they only human contact I have are my coworkers, I have spend days without talking with anybody and is hard, loneliness is terrible for anxiety and depression. Looking at posts here and sharing my posts have helped me a bit. If you need to talk send me a message, you are not alone on this. Good luck

I’m with you. My husband says he tries to support me but he’s annoyed at my lack of energy every second of the day and he makes sure to tell me. I’m not originally from US so not many friend for me either. Stay strong though, we’ll have better days.

I feel for you- it’s is hard feeling like there’s nobody to talk about what you’re going through and no supportive friends!! It’s great you’re posting here though cause you’re not alone we here do understand even if not in person we still think of one another as friends here!!

Hey my Sister, hang in there. See if you can get your husband to Google depression and anxiety. It will give him a better insight of what you are experiencing. Much love to you 😊🙏🙏🙏

Thank you all, I honestly half expected someone to claim I was attention seeking, this community really is different

Hello LaGuera05, I’m so sorry this is happening to you! I know you don’t know me, but I’m your friend, and I care. I am too in the same situation as you. I used to get angry with people who didn’t understand, after Opening up to them, and telling them, in my opinion the most traumatic thing They heard so far. But now I realize, some people truly do not understand depression. Our closest lovers and intimate partners don’t even understand ! Maybe a suggestion, could you try to take therapy with him? Or get a counselor/ therapist to try to talk to your husband and explain to him, that he needs to be there to support.

Also suggest writing how you feel, and letting your partner read it ? Educating him on mental issues, by giving him books? Sorry if these answers didn’t help

Thank you, apart from him talking to a therapist, which he is totally against, it just might work!
