i don't really know how this site works but i just wanted to let the lady know, the one that feels whinny, that your life is almost a mirror of mine. i think the only thing you and i can do is to try to do the best we can. sometimes we must depend on others. even if we never thought we would. i was a powerhouse before i got sick and now i'm just powerless. i hate my life most of the time and the rest of the time i am afraid. i get new meds all the time and give each of them a try. most don't work. it feels as if life is against us but i have to believe it isn't. i have tried suicide and been put in the nuthouse, neither is a solution. you are what you are now. i know it is tough to go outside and do anything ,but you must. you just have to. your life is different but it is not over. i know what i'm talking about. i'm just as scared as you are and i don't have any real answers to heal you or myself but if you give up you die. when you don't have anyone to talk to well hell talk to yourself, i do. just keep reminding yourself that there are others just like you and we can't all die. just get back on that computer and talk to us................

This is a topic that is not addressed in business and motivational books. It is not addressed in books about depression. This surprises me since finances are so key to our lives. I have lived through a deep depression from great childhood abuses and cured myself which took years. I married a person 4 years ago that suffers from a long term depression (24 years) and I very much understand the ramifications that a deep cronic depression can have on a person financial situation.
This a problem (depression and money) that is not talked nor is there support for the spouse that is married to someone that is depressed. The fact that there is so little out there in terms of support for the person in a marriage that is not depressed or for depressed people in general is so disheartening.
Reaching out to people is definately a step in the right direction. Most people who try to help others who are depressed have never been through depression and have no idea what it feels like. They have no idea the damage that it does to ones life, they cannot empathize with someone. If there was more empathy on the part of the doctors there might be more break throughs. www.02rich.com I'm working on an article about depression and money, it should be published in the next day or 2.
Be well, and may God cause his face to shine upon you.
i completely understand. After being on disability for eight years the hartford calls me and stops my benefits. over the phone... they don't give a crap that now i will lose everything . they cancelled me over an illness i didn't even file for. how do they get away with this? If i thought i was depressed before i'm close to death now. the thought of the hartford having complete control over my life and then arbitraily deciding they have paid enough makes me want to go postal. As for having a spouse that isn't depressed, or the opposite of you makes for alot of divorces. It is tough for both parties.
