Proud of DH - but he has a long way to go

[proudwife]

Dh has been depressed for years. He is under stress at work and self medicates with alcohol and barely sleeps. He is snappy, irritable and unreasonable.
He came home from a business trip two weeks ago and sobbed like a baby

He finally agreed to go to the drs and as of today he has been sober for two weeks and is so much better.
He is also on an AD and is seeing the Dr again on Monday.
He's off work until 7th Nov.

He's so anxious about going back to work but is sober, reasonable and sleeping.

We have a long way to go but just wanted to share

That's fantastic - I have MH problems too. I suspect alcohol was

Oops

That alcohol was the first drug user to "treat" depression - probably why I so many take to it when down even though, of course, it only makes matters worse.
