[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 566106, member: 3419"] Army wife, another idea: When your husband doesn't "get it" in regard to your depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), tell him that when he helps you, that helps YOU help him. It's a partnership. Then be specific about what you need help with. For example, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) means nothing to a guy like that, but if you tell him that anxiety hits you out of nowhere, sort of like the flu, when you least expect it, and you get so mad at yourself because you had so many plans for the day, and all you could do was help one kid on the toilet and another kid with-a drawing and then you had to do deep breathing for an hour, maybe he'll "get that."
