I have been slightly depressed lately. I have been looking for a job in my field for about a month now. I have not worked for 3 years and have just been a housewife, which I have enjoyed. I am excited to go back to work to save up for a vacation and some home renovations this year. I told dh about it and he blames himself in a way. He is a perfect husband and suppourts me 100% in anything I want to do, he is no way responsible for how I am feeling lately. However, being a man he wants to fix me.
Depression runs in my family, It's not near to the point as to where I feel I need medicine. I know that as soon as I get a job I will be happy again. Any suggestions other than a job to get me out of this slump? Also, I havent gone out lately due to the high temperature has been around 15 degrees and we just got 8 inches of snow dumped on us last night which I think has contributed to this.
Thanks
April

April,
I am sorry that you have been down lately. I struggle with depression in the winter and espically during the holidays. I have been on Zoloft for it before, but couldn't stand the side effects. Something that has helped me is to get outside and get some air. I also have a few friends and we will go out in the evenings for dinner or go sit in a hot tub or something. It helps to know that I am not alone and to talk.
Keep your chin up. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Counting the days until my husband comes home from Afghanistan, December 4th at 8:33pm, but hey who's counting?!
I have been out of work for over a month now, so has my fiance. It has been one hell of a struggle. Plus the winter weather does not help in the least.
Have you thought of maybe taking a course, or finding an interest that is something that you can do for yourself. I do folk art painting and it helps me give me the time to connect with myself that I so need. You can get lost in the process of trying to hold down a home, be a wife etc. I know I like to try and do things that are just for me.
Keep us posted on how you are doing. Good luck on the job search. I am right there struggling with you on that.

Jobs are hard to come by, right now so wishing you lots of luck If you can't find a job right away, maybe you could do some volunteering until something comes up. That might make you feel better. It sounds as though you know the warning signs and are getting a grasp of it quickly. Good for you. That's a hard thing to do. I'm glad that your DH is supportive, but you're right sometimes we just need space to figure it out for ourselves. Hang in there, spring is just around the corner! Hugs, Lendi
