Hi, I notice a couple of you have mentioned strain on your marriage with depression. I am finding that so tough at the moment. We constantly fight and I do not know if it is me being unreasonable (can not tell through the depression) or my husband just not understanding. It is making me feel even more down!! I only have enough energy to take care of my son & the little left, myself, how on earth do you manage to keep a husband happy no matter how much you would like to? How have you all got through the rough times? Any suggestions Thanks

If they haven't walked in your shoes they just don't understand. No one does not even the pdocs. Fondly, Phillipa

I invited my husband to attend a therapy session with me so he could get a better understanding of what I am dealing with.
The irony is that he really *did* have a good understanding already, but we hadn't talked about it, because he didn't want to upset me further. Ah, human relationships!
We've both been more compassionate since then. It really did help us be more empathetic, on both sides.

Therapy can work wonders. Not because of amazing insight on the part of the therapist - but rather to get the two of you talking. And that can be less depressing.
