Maybe my deep dark secret of depression is caused by my hormonal imbalance. I am 28 and showing significant physical symptoms of menopause. Maybe it is just stress. My periods are either too often or non-existent. Now they are more non-existent than anything all though I hate the damn thing anyways I’m pretty sure my hormones make me psychotic. In the past 3 months I finally get 1 and it lasts 2 days? On the other hand I have stressful things in my life. My husband is a drug addict. My numbers at work have been dropping (because I’ve been too stressed to focus) and he recently lost his job so I really don’t know how I’m going to pay for everything. He gets side jobs but then he tells me he needs rehab for pain pills and I’m like how the F*** are you taking pain pills if I can’t even pay the water bill and lets please hope it doesn’t get cut off. Now me, I do no drugs. I drink red wine, which is perfectly legal but I am an alcohol abuser. Maybe not an alcoholic but I abuse it plenty. I invited my husband’s mother, stepfather, and brother over for dinner and he wouldn’t get out of bed. Him and my nephew been up to no good now my nephew is in jail and he is next over this pill s***!!!! Regardless, I know for me, I’m ready to just end it all and I am so thankful that he is a sorry P.O.S. because if I for 1 second thought he would nurture and give my kids what they need I would have already been dead. Another mindless rant from the clearly pissed off and distraught beeyatch who can’t even keep a clean house anymore…… 🙂 Sorry you had to read this crap!

I’m sorry you go dealt a rough hand. If you leave him, can you get any assistance from the government to help you and the kids? Stay strong your doing good.
I make too much money to qualify for assistance. I could afford to leave him because technically these bills are all his and in his name but then I love him and if I leave him he won’t go to rehab or get help. He will end up dead or in jail. I don’t even want to leave. I just want him to get better…
Can someone please explaing to me the horomonal imbalance depression works? I just don’t understand it. Like one day said, try to see if, if you leave him you can get assistance. If you can, then do it girl
Estrogen increases serotonin levels. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which helps in moods and decisions making. During menapause estrogen levels drop and subsequently serotonin, thus depression.
Ok… I just worry about the kids and how it would effect them. Are they coping ok? Kids pick up on a lot of things… Like they might leaned from that example that Having a drug dependency Is a good way to manipulate people into caring and staying with you. Anyway I’m sure you know what’s best for your family
I do believe my kids have been hurt by this. Because of both my depression and his drug use and anger. In weighing the pros and cons maybe I am wrong but I think my kids would be more hurt if I took them from their dad, especially since none of his anger has ever been directed towards them. He really is a good Dad. If it gets to that point, my brother has 3 free rooms at his house and I am always welcome. I just think my family is still worth fighting for right now. I also think that if I left, I would be in even worse of a mental state than I am right now.
You know what best go your family. It’s good to know you have options if things get worse. Maybe a good long heart to heart with yr husband is in order
This chapter you describe seems definitely a bittersweet one, but there is a sweet side to it. You still have love and you have money so it could be worse. You have something to hold on to and fight for. Even though it’s an overwhelming situation I am sure it can still have a happy ending. I wish you the best at finding the way out.
