Feeling a little sad about dh (long-ish)

in August 2012 Moms

So my dh has truly been great with Liam but today he mentioned how he's feeling alittle  depressed. He said (over and over) how much he loves Liam but that he just feels sortof stuck because there so little time in the day, so little time for us to be together to talk, dtd, hang out, and he's frustrated at work. This is the second or third time he's been feeling like this and has told me about it right away but I can't help but feel sad about it. I know he doesn't truly wish things were different, I can see that when he interacts with Liam or sees him exploring or learning.

Our family isn't helpful so we don't have anyone besides our dcp that we can leave Liam with.

He's always struggled with his place in the world because he never feels successful at anything ( he's prone to depression and anxiety).

Sorry to be kind of sad, I usually try not to be but its how I'm feeling right now and I don't want to tell him (yet) because he already feels so down that I don't want to add to it.

    has he talked to someone about it? other than you? maybe seeing someone would help him deal with his anxiety and learn to deal with the depression? idk.  i haven't been depressed in years, but seeing someone for a while helped.

    I"m sorry that things are down right now. I think adding a baby to the mix of any relationship can cause struggles, and especially with someone who already struggles with depression. It is great that you are supportive of your husband, and you always have

    My DH is in a similar spot.  I'm trying to get him to go talk to someone about it.  His dad just went on some kind of medication and it has done wonders for him.  DH has also always been prone to these issues but I think having a child mean

    That's tough. I'm sorry you're dealing with that. it's such an adjustment to have a baby and you still have to have all the pressures of real life. I think it's easier for moms than dads. Hopefully he can work through his feelings and start to feel bet

    Don't apologize, I'm sorry he and you are going through a rough time. I think it's a great suggestion for him to seek out talking to someone. I hope things improve soon!

    Ok this may be a random thought but do you all attend a church? I only ask because a lot of times you or he could talk to the pastor. I know it may be akward but sometimes you need someone to talk to who isnt related to you. I'm not a religous person at a

    Thanks for all your suggestions and support. I know I don't post as often as many, but I really appreciate this board!

    dh has been through therapy before so he kind of feels like he knows everything they're gong to say/ask. If it gets too bad I w
