What Advice Is There For Helping Spouses Or Significant Others To Understand What Helps And What Doesn't Help A Depressed Person?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have tried to explain to my husband many times what helps and what hurts when I'm having an episode. He always tries to help. He's very devoted. But he falls back on what makes sense to him and gets offended when I tell him it's hurtful and not helpful. Then we have conflict and my episode gets much worse. It's a dangerous pattern. It's not good for my depression or our marriage.

How Do You Guys Deal With Grief?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am terrified of grief. I have felt it in the past and it is the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. Far more than any physical pain ever felt. I do not want to feel it. I do not know how to let myself feel it without wanting to die or self harm in order to move my pain elsewhere. I feel like I will grieve forever. I do not want to do that. I cannot live like that.

Try 'the shack'. The authors' experiences in his own life are perhaps equivalent to yours, but the book is fictional, but algorithm to his life

How To Deal With Postpartum Depression At Night?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Ive been dealing with postpartum depression and its been getting worse. I am on meds but they arent enough. At nighttime is when the depression is the worst and i was wondering how can i make nighttimes easier to deal with. I have to be able to care for my baby but i get so overwhelmed at night even if there is nothing happening. She could be sleeping soundly and ill just look at her and become very overwhelmed and start crying. Is there a way to ease my postpartum depression at nighttime?
