[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 189262, member: 3413"] Hi, I'm glad to see your update, and I'm glad to see that you and the doctor are helping your husband. I think you're taking very good care of him, and just the fact that he went with you to the doctor demonstrates to me that he is interested in helping himself, too, even though he might not be able to help himself much at this point. My father committed suicide just a few months ago, and you'd think I'd have some good practical advice, but sadly, I don't, not really. Chronic pain was one of his many issues. The only thought I have is that you may want to prepare yourself and your husband that there will likely be setbacks in the treatment of his pain and his depression, and that it might be very hard for husband to see his way beyond those little moments. Remember (and remind husband) that, overall, you're on a positive path, and that there is always hope, and always options you haven't tried - like a psychiatrist! My dad didn't have anyone to take away his gun, or take him to the doctor, or monitor his mood, so your husband has a terrific support system by comparison. I read your original post, but I must have missed something - why did husband forget a portion of the evening? Was he medicated? Good luck getting through this, and bless you for your vigilance.
