Dear Peony13,
I’m so sorry that you did not get the help and support you needed from the medical community which probably left you feeling worse. The same thing happened to my sister while she was going through a mental and physical breakdown. Thankfully she was able to pull herself out of the deep pit of despair but it was not easy. However like others have said before- do not give up. I know life feels like an enterinty when things are not going well but it will get better. A friend once said to me “fake it to you make it” about being happy and not depressed. I tried it and after awhile of “pretending” to be happy I actually felt better.
I so wish there were more resources to help those of us with mental and physical issues but there is not so we have to help ourselves. We have to hold each other up when the other is down. Be open and honest with your husband. I used to protect mine from how I was really feeling so I would be in agony alone. Now I share my deepest thoughts and it’s ok to lean on the support of a spouse.
The members here are great humans with big hearts. You are loved. Please do not give up.
