I have recently recognised the signs of depression due to having it a good few years ago (before I was with dh) I took myself to the gp and have started on a low dose of Escitalopram. The side effects are a pain but I know they will subside in a few weeks. My problem is whenever I try to talk to my dh about how I’m feeling, and how I was feeling to need medication, he just sort of says oh. The last few days I have been feeling really nauseous and falling asleep early evening, I explained it was the meds and it will pass, his reply was I think we need to get you off those drugs! I’ve only been on them 8 days so explained the side effects will ease and then hopefully they will start working, he said maybe we just need to make you not need them at all.
I think it’s jyst that he doesn’t understand depression rather than he’s being insensitive. I don’t know what I want,I suppose for him to understand, maybe he needs to read up on it? talk to him? I’m a little fragile at the moment so need understanding from him.
