Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | Help! Husband doesn't understand Hi everyone, need your help and prayers. My husband doesnt understand that I will most likely have to wean my 10-month-old this week so I can go on medication. I have some flavor of mood disorder, pdoc will tell me more tomorrow after tdoc visit today. Basically, I am very angry a lot of the time. DH thinks I just need Jesus.
I have been praying SO MUCH! I know Jesus can heal me, I just think He has chosen not to for some reason. My anger/irritability is affecting my family, esp my 3-year-old, who gets sad when I get sad/angry. I have been off and on antidepressants for 7 years. DH wants me to hold out for 2 more months so my baby can get 2 more months of mom's milk. I am desperate for relief!!!
He works out of town during the week and just doesnt get it. Thinks I just need to go to bible study tonight and all will be all right. i love the Lord, I am saved, I just cant go on with this anger/depression untreated. Any ideas out there? I think 10 months of mom's milk is excellent, but he wont support me on weaning, says I get angry JUST b/c he disagrees with me. He doesnt get it that I am angry a lot of the time, and snap far too much. I lost my job 5 months after having the baby and am at home with 2 kids by myself and struggling. :-( I cry out to the Lord to help me, heal me, cure me, something please!
Please help! |

I was on meds for years and now use amino acids and actually do much better. The only problem I have is a bit of stomach upset now and then.
You can google the subject and find lots of good info out there. Actress Nicole Kidman uses the natural approach so you might use her name as I know she works with one group as I came across an article she wrote on what she uses.
Unfortunately mood disorders are part of the fall and there's no shame treating them with whatever means works best for you.
