I am new to the site and have been trying to read through all the posts, I can relate to so many people and the struggles they face. You have to be a strong person to be faced with all we face on a daily basis. Sadly I'm sure the majority of us will never see ourselves as being strong, which is something we need to work on.
I have been diagnosed with anxiety/depression/PTSD & ADD, my husband also diagnosed with anxiety/depression & ADD. We all know relationships can be difficult without adding mental health to the mix; does anyone else have a spouse that also is dealing with mental health? If so what tips do you have for when you are both feeling incredibly low. I find at times it brings us so much closer as we both understand what the other is feeling and thinking but there are times when it just sucks especially when you are both in one of those extremely "Blah" days where it actually hurts to smile, I'm sure everyone thinks I'm miserable as I do not smile often but I find it hard to smile almost feels like the muscles used for smiling do not work. My husband and I are attending couples counseling starting the end of February and with lots of hard work individually and together I'm praying we are able to make our bond even closer.
