Hello, and thank you for reading this..
As of a week ago been diagnosed with severe depression after years of telling myself I’m normal, just grumpy or moody. Push came to shove because I’ve been getting very snappy with my wife over the last month or so and making her very sad. We both work full time and have a 4 year old son. I have been on and off moody and snappy for a long time. This Monday after a stupid comment where I accused her of basically cheating on me for no reason, we argued and I had to leave them behind to seek help. I made an emergency appointment and started taking the medication right away that evening.
I am currently residing in my childhood bedroom at my mothers house, along with my dog. It’s horrible but nothing like what my wife is having to go through. She is trying to find herself again and whilst she admits she is still in love with me and that I even make her happy, she can’t get her head around what is happening.
We are both spending time with our son and for lack of a better term, sharing custody.
I understand that she needs time, I am struggling however being back at home whilst being signed off work and having most of the time alone, my head wonders, I worry things will not get sorted. I worry I am just broken and the tablets won’t work.
I hope some of this makes sense, and I’d anyone can provide any similar situations and what happened I would be grateful.
