My husband is depressed, am I? April 7, 2010

He has been having a hard time lately, and I knew he was slowly slipping into a depression again. I did my best to keep him up beat, look at the positives, shield him from drama, but alas I could not prevent it. I don’t know why I thought I could? That Codie in me still trying to fix everyone else first. Unfortunately my blog has lost its anonymity, so I can’t go into the details, but its bad right now.
On top of that I have been sick for almost 4 weeks now. I’m not ill, or nauseous, or even congested. I am just exhausted! I sleep like 20hrs a day and I have a cough that just won’t quit. I don’t think I am depressed… I have been depressed before and this is nothing like that. This is purely a physical exhaustion, not a mental one. But if I am not depressed what is wrong with me? Hopefully this passes soon. With him depressed, and me sick nothing is getting done around here. We haven’t cooked in weeks, I haven’t done laundry in weeks, and my homework is starting to back up.
Ugh.. Any good home remedies?
I really don’t care for the doctor, but if you’re sleeping so much and still exhausted, maybe it’s time. (I was suffering from exhaustion and finally went to the doctor and found out I was anemic.) The other option is to try a good long walk or some kind of exercise daily – if it’s depression coming out as exhaustion, that should help. Hope you start feeling better.
