My wife had enough, the rages associated with my severe depression finally pushed her over the edge and I've been on my own for the last 3 months.
Obviously its not her fault, we both made mistakes and have been stubborn when it came to compromising.
Yet no matter what has happened, I do hope that things will be settled, she needs her space, she also needs to get used to being alone.
For the sake of my marriage and son, I ask for your prayers as I submit to both medication and therapy in the hope of a better future.
Sir I certainly shall keep you in my prayers and if you find the need for more in depth talking about this please consider the recovery forums. We have a variety of forums including one for depression.
God Bless you sir.

My heart goes out to you, and I pray that you will find the root cause of your problem, because once you know the root cause then you can overcome and conquer it and be healed.
Medication isn't an answer to the root cause, but a restrictor of the condition, and not a spiritual healer.
I pray that you will receive a spiritual healing, a that the root cause of your depression will be revealed truthfully.
I also pray for a reconciliation of your marriage, and I can understand your situation because it caused many problems in my own marriage, which is now sorted out, because the root cause was destroyed and I was set free.

"Depression" is tough, but it is also a label people can stick on themselves... afraid to feel the whole spectrum of feelings.
May I recommend that you do your own research as you go through the process and learn about yourself. From the time I was 19 they tried me on one sort of anti-depressant or another. None worked. They just sapped my life from me.
But when I was about 40 a counseler thought I might be ADD. I thought that funny. But the ADD medication worked to relieve the depression that had been untreatable of 20+ years.
So educate yourself and take a proactive involvement in your treatment. And above all don't let a label or a disease become how you see yourself.
I pray that this time of healing, for both you and your wife, result in the restoration of a loving marriage. Just think, you have now been given a wonderful opportunity to woo and win your wife again.

Wise counsel Deba. I think every one is different it is definitely important to find the spiritual root as John suggests but to totally discount meds is not what I would consider sound advice. Obviously it is not the total answer but just an antibiotic assists the bodies own defense systems in fighting an infection so anti depressant medication or whatever is deemed appropriate can assist us along with prayer and counselling in our battle for mental health and wholeness. Although some Christians disagree with me many if not most depressions are just as real an illness as german measles or heart disease. Hang in there. As we submit to God He will help us sort out our path to wholeness which can include medical treatment. gg
