To think this is the most stupid advice anyone's ever given in the history of giving advice

[IncompleteSenten]

Or am I being a twat?

Yanbu - wtf kind of dumb advice is that?

Yabu - it's good advice, get off your arse and try it.

That is a lot for your husband to take on. He's not a professional and he may be feeling quite scared or overwhelmed.

It's of course a lot for you to be feeling this, and I am not taking your experience away from you - you have empathy from me it must be awful to feel this way. You can survive this you really can, it will take time and small steps but you will. It must feel very scary for you, and really horrible. Big hand hold from me.

However saying you are feeling like this to a loved one is big, your DH is probably feeling helpless. Please do contact the Samaritans and professionals. It's too big for your husband. I would urge you to get as much professional help as possible. See your GP also and get a team around you, your husband will need support as well.

I know people mean well but exercise and mindfulness aren't enough when you are sliding into feeling actively suicidal. Please go and see your GP. Its possible your meds need a tweak.

Yep. A year of Sertraline did the job. I had to be pretty much suicidal before I was given anything. Going for a walk wasn't going to fix that.

I’m not being snarky (genuinely) but what answer would you have wanted from him?

Heavy message to send, difficult message to answer. He can't be your doctor or therapist, even if he was qualified. Care for you, listen to you, and try and ease the burden of chores, absolutely. But you sound like you are in a very dark place and need proper professional help, sorry OP it sounds utterly shit for all of you. Sending virtual hugs

It sounds like textbook depression, which is a medical illness and not your fault.... there are some brilliant medications available now like Sertraline which just give you some mojo back, without any bad side effects..... please do talk to your doctor, sending hugs x

I am so sorry you are not feeling good and yes that is the shittiest advice ever. On the other hand he has got you on here talking to us.

Are you ok OP? 💐
