DH has no idea how I was feeling.

Was talking with DH last night about a man who committed suicide recently. Dh was saying how could anyone feel so bad to do something like that; like that was the only way out.

7 years ago I suffered awful depression following the birth of dd. Many days I would sit in the car and cry, I would drive around thinking about driving the car off a cliff with dd in the back, I dreamed about going to sleep and never waking up. I'm better now, although not 100%. When I told DH last night he had no idea. I never told him as I was ashamed. He had no idea I cried myself to sleep most night

This is awful to hear. I’m currently feeling very low with those dreadful thoughts as my 2 children sleep and my husband watches tv next door.
I wouldn’t wish this on anyone and couldn’t leave them but currently don’t want to wake up tomo.
I’m just saying you’re not alone. I’m so glad you are recovering so well x

Please tell your dh. He's not a mindreader.
