An ongoing problem...

[mnhreams45]

Hello everyone...

I've been dealing with severe depression most of my life and I have been to therapists abound and taken medicine repeatedly but nothing has worked. I've been suffering for three years now nonstop and nothing is helping. I have two children I homeschool and I am unable to keep a job for very long, which compounds the issue. I am tired and suffer from pain most everyday. I want to commit myself to an in-house treatment center but then the guilt of not being around my children would be too much.

Hello. Is the guilt of not being around your children the only thing that is holding you back from going to an in-house treatment centre?

Please don't focus on the negative regarding this. Instead, focus on the positive: you're going to be helped on the road to recovery where your entire family will benefit and not just you. So please, think deeply about this ... you won't be away forever ... your children will survive the separation particularly if they know just how much it will benefit you.

Best wishes.

Hi mnhreams45, I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering with long term depression, mine is long term too but thankfully it does lift sometimes. If you feel an in-house treatment centre is something you’d like to try I think you should look into it more too. I can imagine being separated from your children would be extremely hard but if this treatment works, as Lizbett says, they would benefit too in the long run what is causing your pain tho? Being in pain each day is enough to bring anyone down!

Thanks for the reply...I've been feeling better the past couple of days but now I just found out my husband has started texting another woman. I feel numb but this is how it starts with him. So I am expecting to crash and burn as soon as it sets in.

Well it’s great you started to feel better for a bit, but that’s not good bout your husband try to stay strong for you & your children as best you can, when guys have betrayed me I get strength from music, put on some Beyonce or Whitney! & maybe talk to him, I’m hoping it’s not as bad as it may seem
