[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 49792, member: 2315"] Witz, I hope the ADs help things get better for you. Living with a depressed person is very difficult. When that person is your SO it is very hard because they are supposed to be your "soft place to land" . There was a time in recent history when you could count me among the wives with depressed husbands. My husband fought the ADs for years. Doctors and therapists alike told him he needed to try them. No way. He was a "GUY" he was going to "do it himself". He never did. I finally gave him the ultimaum. I told him I couldn't live that way anymore. I told him that he needed help just to get to the level of being able to help himself. He went on the ADs and did well. After about a year and a half he weaned himself off. He is doing well although I liked him better on the medications. He was a bit less abrupt and more tolerant of me then he is now.I find he has to be told not to be bossy and i can see him actively swollowing his un provoked hostility at times. He sees every suggestion as a critism. A carry over from having a emotionally damaging mother. But on the upside he is still ALOT better than he was before he went on the ADs and if he gets too hard to live with again I will ask him to go back on them. -RM [/QUOTE]
