Hi from me!

[karenanne]

Dare I hope that there is someone out there to help me through? My DH suffers from SAD - year in, year out (was diagnosed a long time ago - appt in London). In the past he has tried to take his own life. Every year we try to think up some extra way of coping. I have been married to him for years - the depression came to light after we were married although I did notice he was moody before. Quite a lot of the time I wished I had never married him and want to be free of it all. However, there are good times and at those times I cannot imagine not being with him. The best times are when I hear him laugh about something and when he is doing his hobbies.

Right now is tough, tough, tough. I am sitting here in tears because he went out tonight without saying anything. The reason this time is trivial, IMO - I feel as though I cannot write the reason here as I want to remain completely anonymous, and do not feel confident yet.

Lots of things have happened recently to upset the apple cart - at work and home - not so very big but enough. At this time of year everything has to be as regular as clockwork with no hiccups whatsoever - I think it a bit like trying to cope with someone who is autistic (sometimes I think he has a mild form). I am longing for a normal day to help me cope better. Right now, I can't see it coming.

I sometimes get help by e-mailing the samaritans, but now I have found this site....

HI and welcome to DWD. I agree if your DH finds trouble with change he could have autistic tendencies but do you find it only happens in the winter/autumn months?

Look forward to chatting
