How does someone stay in a good mood when the one you love can't find the energy to smile? My husband has been depressed for about a month now, last night he finally decided to go see him tharopist. But his problem can;t be cured by meds and talking. He's disabled, his body is falling apart but he looks like he could lift a car. He can't work because of his back and neck, we have little to no money because disablity does'nt pay enough to live. And I can't work out side the house because he needs me home to care for him and the kids.
I try to keep my mood positive, but I have a braking point too. The sun and warmer weather is helping. Mother nature always knows what her childern need. I have to buy new clothes because the ones I have are to big, so that helps too. I have gone down 6 sizes to a year. I'm very proudof myself. And of course so is my husband. He thinks I'm sexy no matter what I look like, but I'm starting to look like the 18 yrold he fell inlove with.
We so need somethign good to happen soon, I don't know how much more he can handle. I pray the Goddes will smile on him so that he can find happiness in his heart again soon.
I now have to brake up a fight between my two youngest.
Blessed be
Sweetie I really feel for you and your husband. I know all about a bad back. I have to take meds three times a day just to be able to get out of bed or to walk. I'm lucky in a since that I'm able to work for now. I know all about depression too. On my days off I wouldn't even get dressed or get out of bed. By accident I found out that I was low on magnesium in my body and a nurse told me that being low on that mineral can cause this. See if your husband's body is in need of vitamins or minerals especially magnesium. I know in my case since I take one tablet daily it really helped my moodiness and depression. I haven't lain in bed with depression since. I know your husbands’ health condition can contribute greatly to his mood as it also has contributed to mine. Having a bad back changes ones life tremendously. We can't to the things we use to do or enjoy doing. Tell him just to hang in there!!! His back won't get better, but the sooner he can accept it the better hopefully he can deal with every day things...
PathwalkerCongratulations on the weight loss, this is such an accomplishment. I too am on a weight loss journey. I just went and bought some summer clothes to wear to work, and now I can pull them down to my knees without unbuttoning them…. I just hope that my friend will take them up for me as I can’t sew a button on, that’s sad I know. I just spent a couple hundred dollars on new clothes and now I have to wear a belt to keep them up, but hey I’d rather wear a belt that put the weight back on to be able to wear them. I figured that losing weight would help with the back pain a lot I hope.
