this is a Very personal question, so perhaps it is better on chat when you have time, If you want to discuss it.
Are you Catholic or Born Again, or something else?
I ask b/c I grew up Born Again, am rather a dietist(that's spelled wrong - I don't mean dentist :)), and my husband is Catholic. Someone on this site recommended:
A Candle at Midnight
a book about depression and waiting on God. The author is female and she does take medication, so there's an immediate connect there. Also, she seems to be Catholic, but is pretty broad in her spiritual statements.
Can you go see a priest/reverend? The fact that you both believe similarly is a great start, imho! I went to see a priest with my husband during the marital trouble time and it helped. But they have to be savvy enough to understand that depression is an illness, not the "blues". Unfortunately ours wasn't, so there was only so far we could go.
If you have a loving and caring spiritual counselor at the helm, so to speak, perhaps it would be easier. I have been shocked to learn how many couples go to their pastors for marital help. Even My parents did. :)
