I identify with a lot of it. Re your husband, I second Lisa's comment above. In so many ways, they don't get it; it doesn't mean he loves you any less.

I'm so sorry you have such a burden to bear. There's no rhyme or reason. (Have you read Sperk's blog? I recommend it. I think she's in our G+ group.) You are a powerful writer. Maybe through your pain and suffering and gift for writing you can help other women. P.S. Don't be too hard on your husband, mine would have done the same. Do you keep a journal? Maybe writing about it at night before you go to bed while he drifts off to sleep.

I ...I can't believe how much we have in common. I wasn't fired but "asked" to leave a teaching job because I have bipolar -- and I was thriving at the time! Part of my identity is a teacher, so I understand that, too.<br /><br />I've been in the situation you describe in this post -- I want to talk, and I pour my heart out about my illness and how it's affecting me, and Hubs reacts in the exact. Same. Way. But here's the thing, which of course I can tell you but won't believe when it happens to me: maybe he was just tired. I doubt that he doesn't care. I know I haven't been reading your blog for that long, but your husband seems to care so much about you and love you. Give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure he's worth it. *hugs*Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538106233407301480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268442679430918072.post-81021746787657568592013-02-14T02:11:31.387-08:002013-02-14T02:11:31.387-08:00I understand when you say brick by brick.

And sometimes I'm also like you, just want to yell uncle and stop fighting, take the easy way out.Especially when your parnter, lover, and teammate doesn't know how to help you, or sometimes doesn't even try. <br /><br />You're a strong woman Angela, I know this for a fact because from being your student and following your blogs I've realized how much we have in common. I know how hard it is to just get through a day. How hard it is to not act on the thought of suicide sometimes. How hard it is to free yourself from the bricks. <br /><br />I hope you get through this hard time, and those to follow. You're an amazing lady and a good soul. I send my love and prayers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460370875322822455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268442679430918072.post-23704689541508959942013-02-13T20:20:01.241-08:002013-02-13T20:20:01.241-08:00There are no words to say how powerful this post i...There are no words to say how powerful this post is. I also am being treated for depression, due to a situation at my job. However, I can't imagine my husband not being supportive of me in my moments. My heart aches for you.
