• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

How do you deal with watching this from the other side of the wedding ring?

It's a very hard situation. My husband was diagnosed two weeks ago with major depressive disorder. Before that, I have watched him have episodes every few months that have almost brought him to the point of suicide. It's been a fight to get him to realize things aren't "normal"...and now, we begin the fight to get him somewhere remotely close to that elusive state.

Step #1...You can begin to address the problem the moment you admit there is a problem in the first place :cry:

Anyone out there who can relate to loving your spouse and watching them suffer like this?
