I know at least one other poster has...
Don't know why i'm putting this up, I guess I'm just feeling a bit alone tonight as my dh has had a bad depression for a couple of days, and has been crashing down every 2 weeks for months. He may lose his job. I do love him so much but it is hard sometimes. I would definitely rather have him and the disease than not have him, but I hate the depression and, like a kid, am jealous that he can just go to bed when he is ill. Daft I know, i wouldn't wish the depression he suffers on anyone. he just can't do early mornings - he gives me a lie in once a week, which i know is more than others on here get, but usually has to go to bed for the rest of the day afterwards. makes me feel really guilty but that lie in is all that keeps me going sometimes.
he has been dealing with this disease for almost 20 years and i really admire his acceptance of it - i guess it's early days for me as we've only been together 2 years. it just seems hard that he takes the most incredible cocktail of medication and yet still has really bad dips.
ok, that turned into a long one! thanks for reading, if you're still with me.
