Roseann I feel your pain as my husband is also clinically depressed and refuses to get help. He had a bad fall 4 years ago and a stroke 18 months ago. He retired and we sold a business after that. He was suicidal for about 6 months but luckily we got through that. Now he is bitter, angry and withdrawn. He won’t socialize, barely talks to me and will not ask for help. We are living separate lives in the same house. It is very lonely.
I have read all the suggestions about getting help and they are all good but they don’t do any good if he doesn’t listen. I do take care of myself and have started going back to church. I will try anything to help him but I can’t suggest it to him because he gets angry and it starts a fight.
I guess that I should count my blessings as my health is good, unlike you who are dealing with so much.
I wish you the best
