I think you need to let him go and find someone who is older.We all gain weight and get ugly and lean it's what's inside that counts.Learn to love yourself don't feel so down about your face someone who really loves you will see right past it.Go see a physiotherapist and work on your self esteem.You'll find mister right once you love yourself.View Thread

If she is not there for him at all he can go in to a deep depression.I have the same problem as he does I don't see my wife as a enabler but the glue that hold me together.My wife tried what your talking about and I got so bad I was thinking of taking my own life.Most of what you said I agree with it's just hard to do when you have no will power.That's why I say he need a coach to push him to support him in what he does to get better.View Thread

Mom4all I have depression and you should push him but don't shut him out of your life. I tell you this because my wife was calling her self an enabler I called her my rock to hold on. She wanted me out of the house and because she didn't do that I am here today.If she didn't stick it out I would be dead I would have gone off the deep end been living on the streets and wouldn't have the hope or will to go on. You husband needs a new job he is in a situational depression,so he needs to change the situation.That can be very hard to get done but that's what needs to happen.He needs to take some of that stress off and change his life ,easy to say hard to pull off.He needs a coach to motivate him like you.You also need some one to have support for you it's a burden to hard to handle over the years.View Thread

We are both getting better it's just going to take time. I been depressed so many years I don't know who I really am.To day I was thing about starting painting art,but I have no skills on the technical side of painting on canvas. My wife doesn't know what to say to me she is warming up to me a little,that's a start.I need the right job for me to really be happy which is a hard think to do these day with my bad work history.My wife and I don't have a lot in common and I'm worried that the future hold a separation.I need her to be more loving and accept me and she wants a over achiever I'm not that person anymore that's what broke me. My ambition and not achieving make a success of my self. The big dreamer found out about life the hard way and now I just want to be happy. I'm starting from scratch and the mole is still broken. I still don't know what to do in life.View Thread

The Meds take a month to start working,they have to play with them to find the right one.Your husband is being too hard on himself all the worry has put him in to depression and you too now. Let him know you don't blame him and he can't blame himself ether stuff happens we get creative and learn how to work around stuff but sometimes we can't and we have to accept that too.Pride can hurt when we don't know how to let thing go he needs to let go of some of that pressure he's putting on himself.View Thread

Tell her to start looking for a new job because it could help her to have a less stressful job.Helping her with chores around the house can make her feel you care.She needs to take care of herself not talking about her dislike for her job can only make things worse.She probably need take meds if she is really down about it.She needs to take action to help herself before her dislike for her job makes her loose it.She needs to be positive,getting out in the sun and exercise will help depression.View Thread

Dear Lingua, Injuries/pain and depression go hand in hand. You can appear to be fine because he acting a little. He's not letting people see his pain and being out and about not thinking about your problems helps a lot. He must see a psychologist for meds.Paranoia is nothing to play with. Try to build up his self image show him praise show him you love him just as he is.Be positive is a must. Drinking is bad for depression and will create depression if he's has been a long time drinker,it will also counter the effect of the meds and he will get no wear with his treatment.Physiotherapy will be helpful for him to understand he is getting older and he's not superman anymore something he has to learn to accept.Depression medicine will take at least a month to start working he must stay on the meds or he will relapse.Pain and negative emotions will create depression.He is trying to be strong and is playing this off but there is no shame in having a mental problem,we are all less than perfect.The stress he is giving you can cause you to be depressed,Too much stress over a long time will create a depressed person,for you may be getting anxiety from worrying about his problems.He has got too many problems adding up it's very possible he is depressed and paranoia means its been going on for a while.He needs to see the doctor.View Thread

Hello I am just like your spouse but I am trying to better myself.I would say to change his meds for one they do take a month to start working but if they aren't working then they need to be changed.Tell him he needs to stop drinking, it's a depressant and it will counter the meds and he will get no wear. Built his ego up, his self esteem he is beating himself up inside and needs to be positive.Get him into the sun and exercising or walking keeping busy to keep his mind off his troubles. He may be worrying about money, his health,his sex life. Not being able to give his kids better things. Be his supportive motivating coach. Now I know what a burden he may be and I know how you need help and somebody to build you back up maybe you have a friend or mom that can act as a support coach for you, a team effort. You Love him, make a positive change, take charge of making the both of you better.I can tell you this because my wife is in your shoes and she is taking the negative route with me she made me worse.Threw some positive steps I am taking I am starting to get better.I have stop drinking and when I get an craving I take my anxiety medication.We went to a marriage counselor I am going back to psychotherapy for cognitive coping skills I have to learn to cope with things better.Anyone depressed is unhappy about something so you have to get to the root of the problem. A person needs to have a sense of purpose that I am useful and worth something feeling.A person needs someone to accept him Love him for who he is unconditionally,he needs to be loved.And a person needs to hold a positive outlook on life. Having Faith in God creates a sense of Hope for better things to happen. All this takes time to heal for him and for you,you both need help and support,both have a positive attitude, both be your own coaches and motivate/support each other. If I can get my wife to do this then we both would be alright. If you can't get him to work on his depression or he just can't then you'll have to decide whether you have worked on this problem long enough or not,it won't be solved for months it has to be worked on for a long time.If after the right amount of time and effort by all and you still can't work it out then softly get out of the marriage taking care that he can take care of himself with out going off the deep end.(he has money a place to stay and someone watch out for him mentally) Do this the wrong way and he may get suicidal,you have kids You need to make this right with him taking away his kids and the loss of the relationship could bee too much it's his whole world.Love is very special please work it out.I hope that I have given you an in site and have been helpful I will be tracking this discussion. God bless you and good luck I wish the best for you.View Thread

Hi Jeune I did go once and found that AA doesn't teach coping skills so I'm trying Smart Recovery They are suppose to teach coping skills.we went to one section of couples counseling that she only went because she didn't really thing I would set it up.But the doctor thought we should have individual secessions for ourselves first and also be in marriage counseling.Until she sees that she is not helping me and sees her own hang ups need work I stand little chance. I having a little trouble with the total cut off of all drinking as I'm doing now I know I can not drink all the time but I still want a good beer or Margareta some time in the future.I have an additive personality so I shouldn't be drinking I can see that but every once in a while should be fine it i don't go back to my old ways but for her it all or nothing and that's tough because I have anxiety and that medicine makes you sleepy. I'm not perfect and she is over reacting. Talking with you helps and I thank you I was starting to think this site was dead.View Thread
