• 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.

Hi, I have been married for 18 years and have 3 children. My husband suffers with severe depression and anxiety. He goes through major ups and major downs. It is exhausting sometimes. I feel like I am never enough to make him happy. In the last 2 years, my mom died of brain cancer, my uncle (her only sibling) committed suicide and our home was destroyed (during a construction project) that displaced us for 7 months. I feel like Satan is attacking at every turn and I struggle to keep my head up and I feel like I’m doing it alone while trying to cheer him up... which never works. I know he loves me and needs me, but with the depression he is apathetic at best and normally short tempered and passive agressive. I am struggling to be mom and dad and wife as well as Granddaughter (as I am the only one left to care for my grandma) and do it all alone! My needs are getting !pushed to the side and I know I’m not dealing with my grief because there isn’t time or energy! I would love some advice/prayer/support! Thanks. I feel like I just need to express some of it and yet I dont have time to see a counselor!
