I've agonised for a while about asking but I need some opinions especially from people who have or experience depression.
I'm struggling with my husbands decision to come of his anti-depressants, he had his dose upped and it didn't immediately help, the drs told him to stick with it as it would take time, but he has decided they aren't for him. He came off them without discussing it with anyone, has been a couple of weeks and he is still struggling loads. (Is a big issue but that's another thread)
I am struggling because I've been on medicine since I was 15 for epilepsy, it sucks, I have had some incredibly tough times, I have had to be weened on and off several different things over the years, i remember always having the frame of mind of I have this-so I need this to make me better. Everyone else around me has the same view point especially during the times I've been crying in pain in a dark room because it's not working-my husband has been by my side in these moments.
So why does he get to have a different view point on himself and medication? He has said he doesn't want to be on medication for the rest of his life and that it's just not something he is willing to do-when he talks about it he always stops himself and says he doesn't want to talk to ME about it.
So AIBU to be insulted by this?
