Dealing With Loved One's Depression Posted: 01-16-06 12:51pm
My wife suffers from depression and we are
on the verge of divorce. I am concerned
about her welfare and love her totally.
She is pushing for the divorce and I can't
seem to convince her otherwise. She is
currently on zoloft (50 mg) and diazepam
(10 mg). She also is menopausal. She
has lost about 25 percent of her body
weight within the last 1.5 years. She is
seeing a theropist and uses alcohol and
marijuana to help her cope. I can't help
but believe that the mixture of drugs and
alcohol is complicating her life's
decision for divorce. What are your
thoughts?

Hi james
i too suffer from depression and at the
moment all I want is to be by myself. I
am in a long term relationship and so
desparately want to love
my partner but I cannot feel anything. I
remember the happy times and wish for it
to be like that but at the moment I just
feel nothing (apart from guilt) for
putting him through all this. Try and be
patient. I dont want to make any major
decisions whilst im feeling depressed cos
I dont know if I would be make the right
one.
I hope you can hold on a little longer.
Take care. Katie
