[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I cant beleive that you think that medication is a solution in this case.  Your DH needs a new job and depending on his pay in this new position you may been to work full time.[/quote]

OP said that her DH goes through periods of stress and depression.  If a person is depressed, it is even more difficult for them to get a job than the average person, because it is hard to come across as upbeat and energetic in an interview when that is NOT how one is feeling.  It is also hard because the process of trying to get interviews and not getting jobs interviewed for only adds to the feelings of worthlessness that a depressed person often feels.

I don't think that OP getting a job is going to magically solve things.  Yes, maybe it will ease the financial burden, but the bottom line is that her husband needs therapy and/or meds to deal with his depression.  Part of him hating his job might be because he doesn't see himself as successful as he thought he would be at this part of his life, or he might be comparing himself to friends who are in great jobs, making lots of money, etc.

OP, please encourage your husband to see a doctor.   Medications, along with therapy, could make a huge difference in his life, and once he returns to a more relaxed, upbeat frame of mind, maybe he can do something about changing jobs.  And hang in there; I know it is not easy, but try not to let his frame of mind bring down you or your children.  [/quote]
