"Imagine you are walking with someone down a beach. Beautiful. The waves are crashing. The sun is setting. Seagulls. Looking at your partner and smiling. Hand in hand. Then...you accidently step on a sharp rock. Your foot is bleeding. The pain is intense. Suddenly, you can't see the seagulls. You aren't hearing the waves crash. You don't notice the sunset. All you can see and feel is the pain in your foot."
Oh, this is how life is for my husband! I don't understand for the life of me how he can be so depressed. We had a really good relationship until all of this, we have two incredible kids that he adores, he has his own business that is not that stressful and makes over $100k a year, his parents are wonderful people. There is no outside, obvious reason for him to be miserable! It's so frustrating. His brain is just completely messed up and he can't be happy, that is just the way he is and he says he remembers even being like this as a young child. What a tragedy.
