my wife will not accept I have depression

Hi , you are the only person who knows how you feel, don't let anyone try to belittle you, or tell you what's happening to you . Today I was discharged by a psychiatrist from a mental health ward who called my wife I was just making it up, though he still prescribed anti psychotic drugs and much stronger anti depressants to treat my nothing !! Hang on try to look up descriptions of depression, it's not being a bit sad it's like all you want to do is to stop your head from spinning and you want to stop messing everyone else's lives and heads up if she would like to speak to someone (me) regarding depression please feel to message me . Hang on mate unlike the government we really in this together

I should have it out with your wife and tell her why she is upsetting or angering you.

get it off your chest and see how she responds.  Keep it two way and best of luck.

Not even going to sugar coat it...Shes rude and lacks compassion. Its not a game.im sorry for you. Maybe bring her to a therapist and they can explain it to her so she can understand it Since clearly she isnt aware of how it has been making you feel. Which is very strange in itself. Woman are usually the caretakers and nuturing ones. Maybe shes extremly busy and has not had the time to notice you were suffering? Maybe she will come around after shes educated on whats happening. I hope so for you. If she continues to be so ignorant even after she is educated on the situation you kind of need to reaccess who you are sharing your life with. Maybe shes has induced it if she is this nasty.

Yeah, after my best friend's parents died she suffered from severe depression, and it was during that time that her brother and I started seeing each other. He just couldn't accept the fact that mental illnesses played a vital role in determining the state of health. He and I argued a lot when it came to my best friend because I knew what she we going through but my boyfriend just couldn't understand until after 8 months of arguing and fighting with each other, and him having enormous conflicts with his sister that I decided to convince him to let her see a psych and also that he go with with her. You won't believe how much he has changed now, he has started to see things differently after visiting her psychiatrist and trying to see things the way the psych asked.

Consult a psychologist first take your wife with you, and if therapy doesn't help, visit a psychiatrist and make sure your wife goes too.

Stay strong, I can relate to how you might be feeling right now but The Almighty has a path set for you. Bless you!

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear this. Unfortunately there are still so many people who don't believe in it or understand depressions. My experience isn't a positive one. My sons dad used to do the same to me, he did everything opposite to supporting me. Eventually I realised I couldn't get any better while I was with him and I left.

I hope she finally sees that you need her support. Good Luck

oh my god, of course you should feel this. i know first hand what you are talking about. i get many sarcastic words from my family. well, they dont know any better. it took me a very, very long time to understand that no matter how much i explain myself to them, they were never gonna get it. it still hurts though. we are only human. i have come to understand that i  do not have a support system with them. i am learning to seek other opportunities that will help me. like right here. you know, it really takes a strong person to share like you did today. and your comment helped me to feel not so alone. so thanx. and you are stronger than you know.

good luck, feel better!
