Trigger warning - depression. WWYD?
I’m currently depressed. I have never felt this way before. I cry a lot but not around the kids where possible.
Last night I was crying in bed. Not late. Husband said the following things:
You’re like a broken record
I have enough stress I don’t need this
I don’t need to listen to this
You’re keeping me up
Will you just let me go to fucking sleep
He had his arm under me and said he was cuddling me but whilst he was saying such hurtful things having an arm under me wasn’t exactly comforting.
What do I do? How do we move forward? I don’t want to leave the relationship whilst I’m feeling so low.

@Shay thank you so much 💕💕
That’s such a shitty reaction! Do you have a new baby? Maybe it could be PPD? I can imagine that if he was sort of holding you, but coming out with such hurtful things, that hug would have felt extremely uncomfortable and even a bit threatening. I completely agree with what Shay said above. I think you maybe need to sit down with him and talk it out, but if he shuts you down again when your trying to reach out for help, he’s definitely doing you more harm than good. You come first though! Maybe try and get some professional support to combat the depression first and then sort out the oaf of a husband when you feel a bit more like yourself. X

Hello love, I’m so sorry to hear you’re having a really hard time ❤️ It’s even more difficult when the person closest to you may not understand or is getting frustrated. Is your husband usually quite supportive? Would you say this is a new response or has he always been like this? You’d be surprised how many women experience this, I’ve heard from my own friends the same words. However I say that to say, there is never an excuse for someone to speak to you that way and I think you should take some time out in both your days to sit down and speak about it. In the meantime, maybe try something new? Workout, pick up a hobby maybe learn a new skill, pamper yourself? I know for me, although my shitty ex was probably the main factor in my depression, I literally did nothing for me, and the minute I did, I was able to stop seeing him as the centre of my world and finally left an abusive situation. If you ever need to speak, please do reach out 🫶🏽
