Hi, I went to my doctors today and admitted that I thought I had depression. We talked through my symptoms, mainly still exhausted after sleeping and not sleeping well, and finding day to day tasks really difficult.
I spoke to my husband (who is working abroad for a few weeks) as he had seen my appointment as our phone diaries sync. He asked if it was all his fault then not much more really.
I'm staying with my parents this weekend. I don't know if I should tell them. We don't talk about mental health as a family, not an awful lot about other health either to be honest, but I don't know if they would be hurt if I didn't tell them.
We are close, speak every couple of days or so. Has anyone got any experience? Was it best to keep it to yourself? I don't know what support they could give me, they are great at practical support, when I had a MMC a few years ago, my Mum cleaned my house top to bottom but I can't really remember chatting about it?
Any advice appreciated, thank you
