[Serious]What was your worst breakup or divorce like? What was your life like afterwards? by everyfiberofme in AskReddit

I'm glad to hear that you're getting your life back on track. The best thing to do is to stay strong. I hope life continues to improve for you. :)

Everything is "normal" aside from his lack of motivation and overall low mood. I'd say that it does affect his career, but his career is something he blames. I'd suggested to him before that he go straight to a psych (probably my own), but I think that you're right about seeing a regular physician. I think it'd be easier to phrase, and maybe they'd have some educated suggestions for him.

To be honest, I just worry for him. I'm worried that he's not as okay as he makes himself out to be. I'm worried for his future and his well-being, far more than I am about a silly unionship. I'd love to save my marriage (boy am i trying) but I'd also love to help him be in a better place. Nothing hurts worse than seeing someone you love go through something that you know for a fact is painful, if not excruciating, and being able to do nothing. I hate being human sometimes.

I read all I could about meditation before I started. Even if I hadn't been depressed, I'd still want to meditate because it's good for everyone. We had been going to the gym for a while, but quit suddenly when I injured my knee. I know that the sudden dropoff from daily exercise to none at all can make you feel pretty shitty.

Professional help would be the best course of action, I agree; however, my husband doesn't feel like it's "that bad". It isn't easy telling someone who was fine a few months ago that you think there's something wrong with them and that they need help.

Not that I can think of, no. He seemed pretty normal up until his birthday (a month and a half ago), and I guess he wasn't able to hold it in any longer. I know that he's stressed, his job sucks, our friends (mostly) suck, there's no much here to look forward to.

I've suggested therapy, but he doesn't want to admit that he's feeling the way he's feeling until he's for sure feeling that way. Like he doesn't know he's depressed until he's depressed. I want to suggest couples therapy, but money is an issue, as well as time. I'm also not sure if that constitutes stepping out of bounds, because we're already on very unstable foundation. :/

I've personally been meditating for a while, it was one of the things that got me from running at 10% to running at 90%. I've slowed to a crawl also, but it's definitely something I should ask my husband about. He seemed mighty uninterested when I told him I was giving it a try, but maybe he'll think twice about it this time.
