I can understand why you are depressed. I have been married 30 years to a woman who is so insecure that she has accused me of womanizing at least ten times. No matter how much I tell her I love her she continues to hurt me by not trusting me. She does not realize how much this hurts me even when I tell her. She thinks I am being overdramatic and continues to be insecure. The last 2 years I was very depressed as my 30th wedding anniversary was approaching because I was thinking to myself how I was going to have to live with this person, who does not trus me, even after 30 years. Thank God I was able to get my depression under control with the addition of lamictal. I am also taking prozac and remeron. Currently, I am coping very much better with my wife's insecurities thanks to the lamictal. I don't know what will happen next in this marriage, but at least, I have a clear head (no depression) to deal with it. Please don't be discouraged. Go to counseling even if you have to go alone, like I do, because my spouse refuses to go to counseling. I see a therapist every month primarily to deal with chronic back pain I suffered in a traffic accident and also talk about my marital situation. There is always hope.

> I have honestly come to the end of my rope. I do not know what to do anymore. My husband is so suspicious and jealous. He is truley tearing us apart, tearing me apart. My entire life I dealt with a abusive father, an alchololic mother and for so many Years I thought I had come out such a strong person considering the circumstances. my dr. decided that I have chronic post traumatic stress syndrome. I agree. But right now all I want to do is go to BED!!!! sleep the day away. The medications wont work if the situations dont change....SO HOW DO I MAKE THEM CHANGE? I have always been such a loner....and right now all I want is to run far far away. I feel perfectly crazy.
