There are so many people who do not understand 'mental illness'. They will say to 'pull yourself up by the bootstraps' and that it's not manly etc.. I suggest you ask your wife to go with you to the doctor's and he can explain. If you are planning to see a psychologist..which is a good idea...take her with you. That might even be better. In order to make sure she goes, don't tell her why...although she will worry it is something more serious.
I hope things work out. You need support, not comdemnation.

Do you work? If you do is there anybody there that you would feel able to talk to ( good friends help a lot ) or maybe some other family members that you f close to.
I wish you well and I sincerely hope that your current situation improves, and please visit your doctor if you find things are getting on top of you. Take very good care of yourself ,love Deirdre x

And make sure that you you get all the help you can . There are some very good antidepressants out there, it may be worth your while persevering to try and find one that maybe suit s you ( they can be life changing - for the better ).
I wish you all the help and understanding that need, don't give up.
Sincerely yours, DEIRDRE x

Sounds like you might have social anxiety. It starts in the teen years. It's a feeling of panic at worst and feeling ill at ease in social situations. My son (who lives in the US) has this condition and has no friends...but he has a wife and a child. I have tried to convince him to go to a special clinic for social anxiety but I think he's too scared to go. He doesn't even like to admit he has any problem. I have seen him in social situations and he gets very tense and wants to get away. And yet he works in an office, with people, has a lot of responsibility and does well. From what I have read, the brain is lacking in brain chemicals; serotonin and dopamine. People can take meds for this. My friend's son who as Social Anxiety did and he became the life of the party. His does was maybe too high but anyway, he took up a couple of hobbies and enjoyed being around people. It did affect his sex drive however... I think the drug he took was called serotonin uptake inhibitors. Do some research on social anxiety and see if it what you have.
