Depression
He is pulling away... he feels like a failure... I can not reach him... I feel so alone... I know he feels that way too.... how can we be unable to cross this divide? Why can't I reach him? Where has he gone? I wish I could reach him... I am angry but I don't want to be.... He is negative.... this is not him.... I wish he would come back... I miss him so much... I wish he'd do SOMETHING to change things... Why doesn't he see that he has control over his future? I am exhausted but can not sleep. He does nothing but sleep. I asked him to get help... I pray things change soon. I miss him... please come back...

Hi, I haven't been by for a while and I'm sorry to read such pain in your posts regarding depression. It's a very real, very frustrating thing and can't always be set aside as easily as we would like.
I've fought my own battle with this in the past few months and I don't know if you've been reading any of it. I don't usually promote my own writing, but if you'd care to read, the posting dates are Aug. 17, 19, 31 and Sept. 9.
It's not a losing battle, but depression needs more than will-power. Sometimes it needs medication. My husband and I both take meds for it. I've come to appreciate how better I feel now.
Bless you both.
Have you told him that he is losing you and the kids.
Perhaps the damage needs to be laid on the table.
When depressed, one doesn't want to be encouraged -- there is some kind of solace in the dark hole.
But, if he knows unless he seeks help he has more to lose, perhaps it will shake him loose.
Please hang in there for him. And make that appointment with your family doctor first thing in the morning.
Please do it?
It hurts to see another family suffer through exactly the same thing I went through, when there were some simple things that we could have done to change and progress with everything. Simple meds being the primary thing.
