Last year I made 50 pumpkin breads for my husband to send to his clients. I LOVE to bake, but it got to be such a pain to do that I wasn't sure I'd want to do it again. Last week I went out and bought all the stuff I need to make the breads (this year he wants 100!), but Saturday I crashed and am now depressed and obsessing. I don't want to leave my desk at work or do anything around the house, let alone bake 100 pumpkin breads. I told him I'd do what I can and he got upset and said I needed to commit one way or another. He also said "This is your contribution to the business (his job)" which translates into "this is what you do to benefit from all the money I make and spend on us."
He knows I'm depressed right now and even though he's read stuff on OCD and depression, he still believes that I can control what my mind does. He's also told me that he doesn't like me talking to my mom/sister/friends about my problems and doesn't like everyone knowing about his life. I know he sounds totally self centered by this description and at times he is. He's also controlling and very concerned with how he appears to his friends and co-workers.
What do I do in this situation?
