Why is he refusing anti-depressants? Is it a stigma thing?

[Gato]

You are nothing like Evee! Also it sounds like your H is at least trying very hard to straighten himself out. It must be frustrating right now though. GL to you both.

[Deleted]

I think so.

[pantsparty]

You are NOTHING like evee. It sounds like you are both trying. It's very promising that he's going to an interview. And that he is talking to a counselor.

What have you said to him about quitting his job? Does he know doing that again is off the table?

Are you guys going to counseling together?

[eb777888]

Good luck to you guys, Tarzan. I have my fingers crossed that it all works out.

And please, you are NOTHING like Evee. lol. NOTHING.

No counseling together yet. It is on the "to do" list and should happen this week or next week.

I haven't out right said "you quit your job again we are done" but it has been implied. I've been quite hostile all week and I'm pretty sure the message is getting thru.

[gretchenindisguise]

What if you re-framed the meds as a temporary thing. Just something to help him through whatever he's going through. Once he's through it, he can re-evaluate with his doctor and think about stopping the medications.

Think of it like a temporary boost, not a life long thing.

Big hugs to you. I hope his new job stuff works out!

Is he the type of guy to walk around on a sprained ankle? Tell him to consider the meds until he feels like himself. Like an ace bandage.

[pantsparty]

I hope you can get to counseling soon. You said you haven't actually told him your thoughts, but assume he knows what you're thinking. Sometimes you just need to lay it on the line, and maybe counseling will give you license to do that.

If the sprained ankle doesn't work - what about going to the dentist. Does he get novacaine? Surely he could do it without, but it's a much less pleasant experience.

Thanks for the update Tarzan! It sounds like you have reason to be somewhat optimistic, even internally.

[snickers]

Good luck to you both!

[karmasabiotch]

You are definitely not an Evee!!

[softspot]

Dang, I hope he gets help soon. I like the analogies given by PP about ADs.

((hugs)) Fingers crossed that things work out for you and your DH
