Help.

Been depressed for years. My spouse doesn’t believe depression is real. That is no reason to be sad. I have A job. A family. A nice home. That I’m letting things from my past sit on top of me. He said just let it go.

It's easy for those around us to not understand our mental health issues.

"Let it Go" sounds so easy from someone who has never experienced

depression or anxiety.

I would say now is the time to focus on all the positives in your life.

When it comes to your husband's remarks take in a deep breathe and

exhale his comments. You'll never win if you take them to heart each time.

We can't control what other's say or do to us but we can control how we

react to them. Stay safe, Stay sane.... Hugs xx

I'm really sorry. Maybe you should try to find a therpist, a support group, or a helpline. Try not to take his comments to heart too much (as agora1 said) and just focus on getting help and getting better. I can only imagine how tough that is though, and i really feel for you. I guess i would say you could try to find a way to get him 2 understand (do some research for advice maybe), but if u feel that he'll never understand, just focus on yourself, ya know? There are many places and people and ways that can help with depression, so please just do some searching. Therapy may be really helpful. My heart is with you and i wish you the best ❤❤❤❤

I agree with agora and aonseon try not take them to heart find your nearest therapist they are very supportive

I lived with someone exactly like this.

I hope this forum shows you that you are not alone abs you are never alone.

Depression is an illness.

Someone not believing dies not negate its truth.

Please be gentle with yourself.

We all have enough critics out there. 🌻

Sometimes you have to come to terms that the people closest to you won’t understand you. I’ve realized I just need to focus on me. I’m currently in therapy. Give it a try if you can!

My husband also didn't believe that I was depressed, I think the problem is that they don't know how to help us so instead of try to they just ignore the problem and act like we are just fine. I know that it's hard when the one person that you want to lean on can't be there for you because he doesn't believe what you are going through is real, but trust me when I say it will get easier. I wish you well!

Depression doesn't discriminate in regard to much you have or don't have in life.

My wife tells me the same things. I tell her "Don't you know that's all a part of what I think about" it makes me even more depressed. It's already difficult to even want to get out of bed because it will more than likely be a day of depression and anxiety (both which are diagnosed as Chronic} I have been like this now for so many years that I don't even know what a life would be without it. I am looking for another therapist (Which hasn't been easy) My last therapist I had seen for 20 years + but financially I couldn't continue. She was my angel who was helping me see the glorious light. I have three kids and I am depressed that I have let so many years go by with me like this. My kids are awesome and show me they love me just the way they get me. My wife doesn't! Sadly!
