I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be the voice of doom and gloom. My husband is also struggling with the speed ( or lack of it ) of recovery. I find myself trying to persuade him of the reasons for things being difficult. But thats hard when I don't have the answers myself.

I wish I had the energy to "shoot the damn dog" !!

I hope things improve for you.

Best wishes x

Thanks guys.  It's nice to know I have some support when I need it.  My doctor doubled my dosage of Sertraline to 100mg today so hopefully things will start to improve.  I argued again with my wife.  In her defence, she tries to support but it can't be easy.  What annoys me is that the argument was over something fairly trivial really.  It's just that damn dog takes over and I make it into a big issue!

Hope the increase in meds helps. Arguments are normally over something trivial for us too, so you are not alone. S x x x x

I have bizzarely huge rows, with my husband, about very small things. I think he struggles to cope unless everything is "just so". So when he comes home and they aren't "just so" he gets cross and I take it as an insult and an assassination of my mental health !!! The reality is that I can achieve very little at the moment. For me staying alive is a full time task.

I really hope things improve now you have increased your meds.  x

Sorry to hear that Mamalou.  Its the same here.  We generally get along but something fairly trivial seems to set things off again.  It's almost a spiral where one of us sets the other off which sets the latter off and it goes on and on.  I just hope I can just keep doing my cbt exercises and the meds help me keep it together.
