What will the GP do?

[iambroken]

Hi all,

I am having some problems with Dh (started a thread in relationships last week - He has fallen out of love with me, been connecting emtionally with OW, but wants to try to save our marriage.) I thought we had a good marriage and for the last week I have been feeling really really low. I only told one RL friend and I can't talk to family as we dont want them to become involved in our marriage crisis.

I feel like I just want to be in bed, very tearful and tired. I have been managing ok in front of DC and when they are around I can be normal, and actually feel ok inside.

I just made a GP appointment for tomorrow as I dont want this to be the start of depression as I may end up a single parent and will need strength to get me through. I also think I made th appointment just to be able to offload.

What will she say, I know she's not a marriage counsellor, but I just dont know who alse to turn to with these feelings of despair.

Thanks Pixie, thats a good idea to think about what outcome I want. I dont feel ready for antidepressants, so I will make sure I am clear on that. I am sitting here looking at a pile of ironing, but not being able to face anything.

No. Finding it hard to do anything and the day has just been wasted and I have to pick the DC up soon.

Iambroken did you see your GP?

Thanks for thinking of me.

Yes, I went and she was brilliant. She is new to the practice and I had'nt seen her before. She sat and listened while I let it all out and then offered lots of advice about DH and even said "This is really shit situation" I must have been in there for 25 mins and she was already running late.

She said to see how I go and her door is always open if I feel myself becoming more depressed. In the mean time she said to make sure I look after myself, treat myself and exercise.

I do feel a little better today.
