How does your significant other deal with your depression/anxiety?

[Theloudone]

My husband is the LEAST sensitive person I know and he doesn’t know how to deal with my depression. He just doesn’t say supportive things. Because we are so close, I always spin what he says in my head to mean something negative about me (cuz my self worth is low).

Times like these I just want to run away. Legit take my kids out of my house, get a hotel room and not see his face.

Times like these I am happier when he’s NOT around. He triggers my moods. I don’t know what to do.

He’s a great father and he loves me a lot- he tries to “support me” but I feel like he constantly fails- due to his own Undiagnosed mental health issues.

I lived with my papa and he was like this too but he was overwhelmingly intense too. He would shout at me 'get up!' etc. I had to move out to cope and I feel much better now. However, you have made a choice to be with your husband. There must have been things that attracted you to him in the first place. Could you spend time together as you used to and rekindle that romance you have felt together?

Yes, that is true. Easier said than done! I have two kids and he works 8-6 so I’m super busy with just taking care of life

Corona really threw a wrench in things
