You have already gotten such excellent advice and support; but I just wanted to add one more thought. Schedule a physical with your doc. Sometimes there are physical causes for depression.
Thyroid troubles come to mind first. Before I found out I was hypothyroid, I was depressed, achey, and tired -- bone numbing tired! I had little interest in things and avoided socializing. I did not know why I was feeling so bad and the first doc only offered antidepressants. Finally another doc decided to do some tests and found the answer. There are lots of other physical conditions that can make a person more prone to depression too -- so a good physical could at least rule out something that might be easily treated.
I do hope you talk with hubby about this too. He may have more of an awareness than you think. Most of all I wish you well. Reaching out for support was a first step towards regaining your health. |
