Hi all - I been on meds for a year, came off a few months ago, with no major issues. I still had very low moments and also very angry moments but my inbetween moments were much longer and made everything easier tocope with. I decided therefore I was ready to see someone about my emotions, feeling level headed but also still feeling the highs and lows which means it will be easier for me to explain to the councellor (when i was on meds cos everything was so 'coool man' i found it hard explaining just how LOW and how anxious i used to feel).
Anyway that appointment has just come through the post and i'm scared. I'm going to have to open up to a stranger! Plus last week DH and I had huge row in which it came out about my anger management issues, which initally he ignored then further into the argument he called me a child abuser (i only really get angry with the kids). He completely and utterly does not understand depression (even though he is clearly a sufferer but in denial), so will in no way support me through this. At best he will ignore that i have having councelling and hope that i come out 'fixed' at worst he will use it against me.
How did other people deal with other halves when going through this?
