I am trying to find some support to chat about being the spouse of someone whom is depressed. My partner of 10 years has had depression for around a year or so and has started seeing a dr and psychologist in the last few months. I know we have a long road and a long road I am so willing to take. Some days are so hard and so stressful. On those days I feel so alone myself because while he is pushing me away I am pushing my friends away as I am a very private person so on his hard days they turn my days hard and then I block out the world because I just want to cry.
Are any of you wonderful Mums going through the same thing and may possiby open to chatting and sharing our stories and maybe encourage each other.
Thank you

I can't say I'm being pushed away but I'm the one doing the pushing. I'm here to chat if you need too. Just shoot me a message on fb
Yes going on 2 years soon it's been a very rough road and even more recently his depression has been spiralling out of control it's so scary at times but you have to put on a brave face and it's so emotionally draining I too feel like I need to push friends away I feel like I have to be his 24/7 carer I feel like if im not there or if I put my energy into something else im not giving him my 100% and then if anything were to happen to him id be so devasted and would blame myself for the rest of my life if I could have done something more I do think I need some sort of counselling cause I know sometimes I don't say the right things and make the situation ten times worse because I let my emotions get in the way so much! More than happy for you to pm me for a chat stay strong mumma x
