Kim, Thanks for joining us! It does take time to work out the medication thing. Just make sure you tell your doctor exactly what you are feeling/not feeling, and any symptoms you think are caused by the meds so he/she can help "dial in" your dose and make the right adjustments. As far as talking to your husband, I have a couple of questions for you. Is it that he is having a hard time understanding or that he doesn't want to understand. I am not saying that is a possiblity, but my next question won't really matter if he doesn't want to understand. My next question is, would you be willing for me to talk to my husband about your situation? He is wonderfully supportive for me, and he may be able to write you/your husband in this forum and maybe help him understand. I won't say anything to him until you let me know it's ok. Again, thanks for joining us! Looking forward to hearing from you. Kelly

Welcome Kim this was also my first ever online support group and im so glad i found it these guys offer so much support even though they are obviously suffering too.Im like you and have limited support also so dont hesitate to post frequently(i do) :)I hope you feel better soon.Gabbi.

Hi everyone, This is first time I have ever been involved in a discussion type group like this. I have suffered for depression for a long time. Probably longer than I realized. I just joined an Intensive Inpatient Program that should last about 3 weeks. I am trying to get on the right type of medication, but some days are really low. Today is one of those days and I think I need something further. I hope that I can get some people to talk to here because my support system is very small and I don't have alot of people who understand. Is there anyone out there who can help me explain what I going through to my husband in simple terms. I don't think he has any clue sometimes. Thank you for allowing me to join this forum and I look forward to talking with everyone. Kim
