background - 2 weeks ago Dh told me not sure if he still loved me -floored me - have been on low dose AD for years following a stressfull incident at work which resulted in me being off sick for a year and not returning to employment - first thing i did was get gp to increase Ads up to a higher dose & get some sleeping tablets as knew would be in for a stressful period - i have had to host 3 family lunches through xmas & although we have talked & dh has decided he doesnt love me anymore he is not doing anything about it - there are various threads on relationships. Today has been the first day i havent got out of bed. phoned DF for some support & he basically told me to be carfeul in view of my MH problems. yesterday he seemed undestanding when i told him i didnt think we could get back from here. As you can imagine i feel even worse - i had to take another 2 sleeping tabs to get some sleep this afernoon - i have lost just under a stone in weight and can feel i am going down that slippery slope where i will lose the ability or enthusiam to do anything. DH will then have to stay to look after kids and i fear i may not want to get up again - how can i stop this before it takes hold

I don't know what to say but didn't want to leave you without an answer. I think you need to find the energy to do something for yourself, go out a bit, do some exercise to help keep depression at bay (I mean a short walk, something small).. Do you think you can manage that? Do you have any relative or friend who could stay with you for a couple of days?
