Re: How do I explain to my Pakistani Husband that I have depression..
hey barfi … my western better half has a similar problem … maybe exactly as yours … in the beginning i didnt understand much … but his father helped me out with it … he’s a psychologist … and now i understand that it is really a medical problem … but hes been regular with his medication and its good now than it was half a year ago …
are you taking some kind of prescription medicine? i think it would be best if someone could explain it to him medically … cuz i know its not easy to understand … and in the mean time … just focus on getting better …
as for your hubby … he is in the same situation as i was … and it would be best for him to be patient and treat you like he would normally do, and not make you “feel” what you have even more … and just be supportive of you even when you are severely feeling your depression …
thats all my man asked of me … to be supportive … and not take anything personally that came out of his mouth during that time … or of how he behaved at times …
p.s. but then i dont know how severe your condition is …
