Help s.o. with depression.
So my husband depression has gotten a little worse now. (He’s always had depression since we were dating but it wasn’t as bad as it is now) as soon as we got married, everything for him started to go downhill. He screwed up his ankle badly, he can’t work because of it.
We had all these plans for us to get our place and he would be providing. But life had other plans. So after marriage we made the choice to stay with his family.
But now I think him not working is starting to get him and I think he feels idk like less of a man cuz he can’t do as much. Like providing wise.
For example this morning I overheard him and my father in law, I guess getting into a disagreement. (Wasn’t fully sure what it was since my in-laws speak full Spanish and my Spanish isn’t the best) and when my husband came down he seemed off but promised me it wasn’t any concern).
But just now he told me how mostly his father is just I guess annoyed that he still hasn’t found any work. My husband has been applying for work like all the time. But sadly no luck. 😢
His depression right now is low. I am trying my best to help pull him out, I even did my usual depression care system. (I usually get bundled up in all the blankets, get a stuffed animal, have snacks by me, shower, comfy pjs, fuzzy sock, relaxing music, and tissues to help)
If anyone has any other tips so I can try to pull him out of his depression I would appreciate it. Thank you.
