depression

I know there thing writen on depressoin  before ,  But living with some that has depression is hard to do.

It hard on the family and the parter that lives with them. The today to  today life of this  is hard on them as well .The kids

My ex was in out over the frist three years of my boys life so basisly i was on my own . Not knowing to much about depressoin and how you  you ended up getting was something i had to learn  and it was hard at frist but i got there.Dealing telling the family was something else as they couldn't see what  was wrong as one mintue he be find and next down and out and not talking and back in hosiptal.

Depressoin is something that you really can't see and really can't explain to poeple  unless you have it yourself or live with someone that does and you  lose alot friends and family over this sickness and sometimes even the kids loses there friends as well.It can get to you as well  trying to to the your kids that dad sick in a way  but he alright  . The worse thing that i found was the mood swings   , sweet and loving  and then mad as all hell and the kids would wear itand all i could was take them out side  for a walk or just play out side until he claim down.

I found the noise would set him off or if you said something and  he took in the wrong way or if he want something that i wouldn't do straight away that  would it to.My ex has been on meds for ten years now  and seem  not to be improving at all and still in and out of hosiptal as well . Drinking dosen't  help either  and he try everything from meds  and aa .

my daugther seen the good side of her dad but also the bad side and its hard on her   and she the one  that surfer the most thought it . She had to leave home at 14 for her own well beening and saftly . but coping real well now . My two boys  and are going  good since i left my parter but do see him every weekend  and some time though the week as the boys has the right to him  and he doses alot better with the boys this way .

I think the best thing  is to do is find  what you can for a person with depression  try to under them be there though the good and the bad . Learn about it and how to cope with it , for you and the kids .As so many of them are lonely  and with out family and friends , but if you take the time out  to help and love them  things can better for them not all of them but most time just having  someone now they are still  love can make a driffrents to a person with depression

Its a hard road    to go down  for you  a parter or a friend  . I always be there for my parter though we no longer living togther at least he knows i be there though it all and hope  other loves with this sickiness  can there  for there loves one as well , standing by there side .
