 I am not sure I am doing the right thing by writing here but I just need to talk (or write) about my devestation. I have been so happily married for 25 years, in fact this year is our Silver Anniversary and my husband has just been diagnosed with depression. He has been moody for the last couple of months and suddenly it has all come to a head where he now has lost interest in his whole being his life his home in fact everything and more heartbreaking than ever..he now is unsure if he wants to stay married to me. I am broken! He has seen his GP yesterday and he has an appointment to see someone in the field of mental health problems in a month's time but I am struggling not only with the total change in the man I have loved for all these years but to know he suddenly n=believes the marriage is over. He wants my support and help to get through this but has said for me to prepare for the worst as he is does not know if he will leave me at the end of it all. Can anyone please advise me?

 You owe it to yourself to stick with the treatment. I have been diagnosed over a year ago and still have symptoms. I have been treated with various medications and finally found one that works. Hang in there - it will get better.

 I can really relate to your situation. My husband of 23 years was diagnosed as bipolar last year. Up until then everything seemed fine. It is so hard to know how to act or what to do and say. I never know what I'm coming home to. I know he is getting help, and hopefully everything will work out. Hang in there.

 Depression is a terrible thing but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I've had depression myself and I know how devastating it can be. I had drug treatment and counselling and it really did help. Try to remember that this is an illness and even though your husband may not respond at first tell him that you love him and that you will be there to support him through this time. I also asked God to help and he taught me to commit myself to his tender care. It brought me closer to God as I learnt to trust him with my life. Every day ask God to take care of your husband and learn to trust that God will bring him through this I trust also that God will give you the strength to deal with this and that when you sow in tears you shall reap in joy God Bless you X
I'm new to all this pc stuff ok and I don't understand half of it but I'll give it a go. If there's ne 1 out there who needs help I'll try my best lv nd kisses nellef xx
