And I mean in what way can it show itself ? I know men don't tend to be as emotional as women so how could depression present in a male typically?
My dp is a great man but I suspect he's depressed. Or majorly stressed with work, or both. He works for himself and does not stop working, the last couple of months he's worked every single weekend because he's 'catching up' after a weeks holiday we had in august. Summer is his busiest months in the line of work he does. But since that holiday he's like a different man.
He is always always miserable. Has no motivation or interest in things. He's very irritable. Has no patience with our ds who's only 7 and just a typical kid.
We haven't had sex since July, now part of that is my fault as we're actually going through ivf and I haven't been up for it myself, I've also just had a missed miscarriage so it's the last thing on my mind atm. But I don't think that helps as we have no intimacy. I always kiss him though and tell him how much I love him, I always try to show him I care. I don't know. I just feel like we're lost, like it's us making him miserable.
He won't go to the gp because he doesn't wana go back on antidepressants, which I don't blame him for because they made me feel like a shell myself when I was on them.
Sorry, just a rant more than anything as I need someone to talk too sometimes and I don't want to burden anyone in real life with it.
