Depression Forum Copyright (c) 2013 ExpressionEngine tag:depressioncanbefun.com,2013:08:17 needing some coping help tag:depressioncanbefun.com,2013:index.php/forums/viewthread/.1185 2013-08-11T15:58:10Z martind I’ve slipped into an anxious and depressive state in the last couple of months following some botched bathroom work that i believe has also resulted in some structural damage to our house. Having councelling and also doc intially prscribed beta blockers and now an ssri.  Really worried about job as unable to concentrate.  I feel there is no answer to the bathroom problems, they will never get resolved.  Trying to pursue claim through my insurers legal cover but giving them hard evidence will mean having to take down part of kitchen ceiling or taking up the bathroom floor.  The whole experience is so draining.  Ive found cracks in loft walls that were not there before they did there work as well. Im normally so on top of things but really dont know how to deal with this. I cant see a way out.

Living with a partner with depression tag:depressioncanbefun.com,2013:index.php/forums/viewthread/.1171 2013-06-20T11:11:59Z Alisonl1971 Can anybody help me.  My partner has had depression for a few years but has only about five weeks ago been to the drs and has been put n medication.  I am finding it at times incredibly hard to live with this.  He will for no reason just stop talking to me and this silence can go on for almost a week.  He literally will ignore me as if I’m not in the room, yet will speak to our two year old.  Is this a normal part of depression?  Any help or advice will be gratefully received.  Thank you
