Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
I didn’t
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
It's great to know you guys have struggled too but made it through the other side......
I am trying to stay really positive but it's hard when he's constantly shutting me down.. Sometimes I do feel it's best for me to completely pull away and just be physically there myself and not emotionally.. Other times I don't want to make him feel worse...
I know it's hard lovely, but this is something you are going to have to talk about with him - maybe write him a letter or email?

I've mentioned it him on Saturday.......
I am just not sure what to think with him anymore.. Like last night I sort of left him to it and laid away from him on the sofa... I grabbed our dog off the floor and started to cuddle him on the sofa.. He moved over to us on the sofa and started to stroke and cuddle the dog while he was in my arms...... Whenever the dog wasn't in my arms though he didn't cuddle him or love closer... My dad thinks that maybe he wanted to get closer but couldn't or was unsure...
I also didn't say goodnight or love you when we went up to bed.. Or love you this morning... But on both occasions he said it himself....
I think your Dad is probably right..

Perhaps.. I don't understand why he didn't just get closer then.....
Today when he came back from work it was great.. Joking and play fighting.. Being a bit flirty even too... Then he fell asleep and when I woke him up for his dinner he snapped at me.... Trying extremely hard to stay calm.....
Depression is exhausting.... Try to be patient..

Low self esteem, physically struggling with touch, not believing you want him, believing you’re better off without him, nerves on edge, feeling guilty, being irritable, low sex drive. All/any of these, and more, could be why. Sweetheart, it so hard to control any of these feelings and symptoms. It sounds to me like he’s trying. You may have to expect less for now while he recovers.

Yes perhaps you're both right... I just hate it when he's snappy with me....
What should j be doing to help those feelings and symptoms..??
