Can two depressed people have a healthy relationship?
I suffer from anxiety and depression, as well as thyrotoxicosis (I am hypothyroid, but my TSH levels fluctuate drastically between hyper and hypo levels and constantly adjust my thyroid meds) which can worsen both the anxiety and depression or even mirror them when my thyroid levels are off. My husband has refused to believe that my health issues ARE real and not made up in my head. I don’t try to use them as an excuse, but DO mention that I feel “off” and perhaps it is from my thyroid being off. It usually IS. He doesn’t understand that I cannot control my thoughts and feelings sometimes. That is where the anxiety and depression meds help…they create more of a balance for me, especially when the thyroid is off. He has been very depressed and paranoid and delusional about lots of things and trying to turn it around on me. (I don’t have delusions) I’ve had to disassociate from him at times because it makes me crazier to believe what HIS version of reality is. (more…) I know the diff
