Thank you all so much for your kind comments and prayers.
For those of you that weren't clear, I am definitely in treatment for my depression, I'm on meds, see a psychotherapist and have been recommended a group therapy that I should join, which starts in October.
One of the problems has been that my husband is the kind of man that calls a spade a spade, it's not that he doesn't care about my depression, but he can't really evaluate my mood and probably wouldn't change how he treated me anyway. I think he is verging on being unable to see depression as an illness and purely thinks that it's a matter of fixing problems.
There are a lot of problems that I can work on, but it will be a slow process, meanwhile, I'm still ill, I'm doing very well, but I'm on a huge dose of medication, which can sometimes create problems of it's own.
Rather frustratingly, as CPS did assign us a social worker, because he couldn't see us until today and my psychiatrist doesn't work Fridays, I'm not supposed to be alone with the kids until he has spoken with her. Despite her saying to both of us on Wednesday that I'm not a risk to the kids and that she wouldn't be saying that unless she was 100% confident of it as professionally, if she was wrong, it would be disasterous for her.
This will make Monday morning challenging, having to get two kids to schools in opposite directions, then me to an appointment with the psychiatrist, a task that would usually mean I took one kid and the baby and DH took the other. Hopefully the necessary phone calls will happen on Monday and we'll no longer have that hanging over us.
Meanwhile, I'm exhausted, I'm sleeping very badly and the constant round of meetings is emotionally exhausting, I could see my husband's regret and disappointment when I said I have to rest this afternoon.
Weather forecast is fantastic for this weekend, so we could really do with a gentle family activity, but I'm all out of ideas!
Cheers Anne
