Living with a partner with depression

2013-06-20T11:15:32Z

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

Retreats/Getaways?

2012-09-10T11:59:58Z

Hi there,

My husband continues to come up and down (mostly down) in his depression at the moment, in spite of meds and counselling now being in place. I know it will take time.

I was thinking a complete break from work and his home ‘duties’ would do him (and me) the world of good. Just to get away from it all and do some work on himself.

Does anyone know of any retreats/mindfulness/wellness type of holidays that would be beneficial to someone with mental health problems?

Thanks.
