He is terribly busy - I feel like he's ignoring me.

[Cam]

Every time my husband goes away (he works in another city and has to drive 5-6 hours) I feel abandoned. My mind is like playing tricks on me and telling me that he is doing something bad or that he intentionally leaves me. But then I know the real reason why he has to go - it's because his work is there, he has patients that need his expertise. I see him every 5-6 days and we only have 2 days together. Depressed? Me? Oh yes. I'm depressed. I'm angry. My husband tells me that I am depressed for no reason. Seriously???? I am depressed but for a reason! I am angry and there is a reason! I feel that there is a reason. Can I justify this?

By the way, I'm Cam. And I know, that was one hell of an introduction! Please don't kick me out

Hi Cam! No, you won’t be kicked out for asking for support. I’m glad you found us. Are you seeking any professional help for depression? Yes, there may be a valid reason, but you still shouldn’t have to suffer. Welcome to the group.

Hi Cam. At what stage of his career is your husband? Do you have outside support? Are you near family? Do you work or go to school?

Welcome Cam, I'm glad you found us. Many of us discovered this site during a low period of training. You're not alone.

Welcome Cam. I think most of us googled and found this site at a low point in our lives. Do you keep busy while he's gone? What do you enjoy doing? It sounds like talking to someone professional would help you work through this feelings and find out if the depression is chemical or environmental.
