Awww, Dinah!
> I can't understand why your marriage counselor referred you on. This seems like an ideal thing for a counselor to explain to the spouse of a depressed person. Tamar, you have little kids, you're depressed, you've got a job. I think you're doing great all things considered. And diabetes is another thing that your husband needs to have explained to him. That alone can make a person feel pretty crummy and listless.
Yeah, I think you’re right. I think he needs to hear it from someone else. It’s not that he doesn’t believe me, but I think he needs it to be reinforced.

> Is there any way you can talk to your GP again? It seems reasonable to need more than medications. Especially since it seems that there are situational stressors.I really think I need to try again. I’ve been trying to do imaginary therapy, which was working for me when I was much less depressed, but I think at this stage I need the real thing. My imaginary therapist is pretty good, and sometimes his ideas surprise me, but since he’s a figment of my imagination he’s only got my mind to work from! I think I need an actual relationship to work with now…
