He hated when I took them. He made comments all the time. He hates the ambien too.
Talk to him about it. Don't angst. Just talk. He won't think any less of you for taking them. You are not disappointing him if you take it. You and your h can work it out, sweetie.
Ugh, I had a boyfriend break up with me because I was on anti-depressants. I don't think guys really understand unless they have to take them. If they help you, take them. Your DH will eventually learn that they are for the best.
Ugh.I don't know. He is having a hard time lately, and so have I, and I don't want him to think that I am not strong enough. He took some for a hwile in college and they did nothing for him, so he assumes that's how it is for everyone. I want to keep trying to not take them, but things are so diffcult day-to-day here.
You are an incredibly strong woman, Isha. Anti-depressants help a PHYSICAL condition. An imbalance of chemicals in your brain. It has NOTHING to do with strength. NOTHING. Do you hear me? Would he be disappointed in you if you needed antibiotics? Allergy meds?
You need to do what is right for your body right now, and if that is medication than so be it. This is the worst time of the year to go off anti-depressants (granted, you live in socal, so that's a little less problematic) because of the change in weather and so much less daylight. It's best to do it in the Spring, and if you feel like you're having trouble please don't hesitate.
Sometimes other people don't understand why you need anti-depressants when they don't need them. It's just hard for them to grasp. If you feel you really need to be back on them, you should take care of yourself! Your husband should be able to understand that, even if he doesn't agree. :-)
Re: Drunk confession
TAKE THEM FFS!!!!!!!
We will talk tomoroow.
Take one when you get up. His phantom disappointment is have less important than your health.
*bangs gavel and head to bed*
Call me when you wake up.
if you feel they will benifit you in a positive way, he'll understands because he loves you.
yes he might be a little disappointed, but he loves you and wants you to be better.
I was trying to think of how to say it. Thanks, Rotty.
My DH didn't understand until he needed them himself. Sorry your's has this attitude, as it cannot make it any easier.
