Hi Sadsack!
I've been married 18.5 years (to my high school sweetheart to boot!) He has a hard time with this depression stuff too, but he realizes that I'm much better with the right meds than without... at least for now. (I'm hoping this in just a temporary chemical thing...) The first time I went through a depression was in college and he couldn't understand why I needed to go see a therapist and not just talk to him. He finally learned to deal with it, but I have also started talking to him more. This time, I became suicidal and kept that from him somehow... When I was switching meds, he could tell when one wasn't working well for me. He's pretty disappointed about the o's, but I told him (honestly) that the intimacy we share makes the lack of o's okay... and it really does. Knowing he loves me and sticks by me even without understanding what it's like is worth everything.
I guess that's about it... keep the communication open on your end and just pray that he understands... (I have a great faith life too!)
Take care and keep in touch...
