Ugh. Dh's mother is very mentally ill. She has been hospitalized repeatedly since he was in middle school. No cocktail of medications has helped her. She has threated suicide countless times and basically made dh's life miserable.
So . . . dh is totally over anyone in his life having a mental illness. Well, about a year ago I started to suffer a lot of anxiety that I knew was irrational and I felt out of control. I knew I needed help so I went to my doctor and got zoloft. It did help. Knowing dh's feeling about this, I didn't tell him. Tonight, he came into my office with my pills and started asking me why I was taking anti-depressants. He wasn't mad, but I just know he's judging me. He thinks it is weak to not just work through things. Freaking great.
kinda hard to work thru a chemical imbalance alone....tell him that...what you supposed to do? start making the necessary chemicals automatically in your brain, and 'work itself out'??? what an idiot he is!! I think HE is the weak one for not seeking help when needed, and taking that help that is offered. What kind of man judges a woman due to pills she needs??? NOT a decent one, i tell you that...if he's that way over you taking pills to help you, then he needs to get over himself, and quit expecting perfection out of everyone.
Better to recognize a medical issue and treat what you can before things spiral out of control.
hopefully you can talk to your dh and let him know whats going on. also, see what you can do naturally to help with your anxiety/depression because prescription drugs aren't the only answer ya know? in the end they can do more harm to your body than good.
I am bi-polar and i've been managing it with healthy eating/exercise. it gets hard, sometimes i cannot manage it myself and i break down, but I have to remember that its all in my head and I cant let it control me anymore, then again, its hard. its a constant fight with my brain

My plan was to take the medication to get leveled out and then figure out how to treat it naturally. The medication worked so well I let that plan slip away. I'll start researching natural remedies today.

I fight my anxiety and depression without prescriptions, but I do medicate by smoking marijuana. It's much more helpful to me than any prescriptions ever have been. But it's hard for me to do, and I'm not bi-polar. I can't imagine how difficult that is for you to deal with.
