I posted under a different name about this time last year. Severely depressed DH, I didn’t realise at first how depressed, had walked out of his job. Very high pressure stressed job with lots of publicity. Convinced he’d never find another job where we lived and we’d have to move countries leaving my friends and job.
This year was awful, the depression took an incredible toll on the whole family.
But, twelve months on, he’s so much better, he’s been seeing the GP, a counsellor, exercising slightly obsessively, taking anti depressants, stopped drinking (he wasn’t a big drinker) eating better...
He’s got a job here starting in the new year, a normal job, less money but that’s ok.
For anyone struggling with something similar this is just to say it can get better, there were times I thought it would never end but I can see the future now. It’ll be different than the one we planned and we aren’t out the woods completely on the depression anD anxiety. But it is so much better.
