Thank you for your response Gardener. It’s interesting to hear from someone from the other side of depression. I’m so glad the medications worked for you! Did you at any point ever fear getting help or taking the medication? And how did you get to a point where you were ready to overcome the alcoholism? I just feel so frustrated sometimes b/c I can’t understand why someone wouldn’t want to get help and feel better. He always says how miserable he is and how much he hates his life. If nothing else, I just wish him relief from this depression demon, so that he can live a happier life and be a better father to our son. I know it’s a choice that he has to make on his own though – to get help and take the medications – otherwise, he will never follow thru with it. The doctor idea is a good suggestion and although we do not have a family doctor, and he, in his downward spiral, let his insurance lapse, it’s something to look in to. And yes, the alcoholism is definitely a problem! I’m not totally surprised as I’ve read how often it goes hand in hand with depression, but it is definitely an issue that he will need to be overcome. Thanks so much for your feed back.
