My Husband Is Depressed And Not Sure Why. Posted: 08-03-06 08:05am
:cry: a couple of days ago my husband
asked me what I would think if he went in
the army, I said I would be proud of him.
But after a day or so of thinking about
what he said, it hit me. I would be
alone! My husband and I got married
young, I am 18 and he is 22. Last night I
could tell something was on his mind. So
I asked him he replied "nothing" I knew he
was lying. Then after 20 min. Of talking
he finally let it out he wasn't happy with
his life, he wanted to do more but he
didn't know what, thats why he thought of
the military. But he didn't want to do
that to me. Then he brought up that he
now thinks we got married to quick, but he
doesn't regret it at all. He is so
confused right now and its breaking my
heart, so I suggested welbutrin, one they
say it helps quit smoking and to it may
help straighten out his thoughts. I'm not
sure what to do because now I fell
unwanted, and i've been thrown off path.

It might help if you two sit down and
really talk to each other. See how you
both feel about your marriage and how
happy you both are with each other. What
can you do to make things different and
what can he do. You two are a team, and
you need to work together. Medication
should be a last resort. Theres nothing
wrong with taking medication. But its not
always the solution and often, people are
too quick to solve their problems with a
pill rather then seeing if there might be
a solution.
I take wellbutrin and it has really helped
me. Of course i'm still dealing with many
issues and I may need to take something
else.
On the issue of him wanting to do more
with his life~ what are his interests?
What does he want to do as a career.
College? These sorts of questions might
help him make up his mind.
