@jimhd Thanks. I picked my daughter up this morning and ended up making her lunch and breakfast for her. She was running late and my wife was still upstairs. I know at 15 she can do things for herself but I also understand depression and how it makes doing everything harder. My wife came down while I putting my daughter's lunch together. She said good morning and later told me to have a good day. It's something at least. Maybe we can still work on being friends at least until my daughter goes off to college. I don't know at this point. I think my wife is depressed and she has mentioned seeing the marriage counselor we had seen years ago. I don't understand how she can be depressed and not understand it though.
I know my daughter has major depression because she has said she has had suicidal thoughts for the past two years. I wish she had talked to me earlier or that I had seen the signs but at least she is talking about it now with us. And we are working on getting her help. I am worried about not getting her in until next week but that's the best the clinic can do. I hope she is a good fit for my daughter too. They share the same name so I am hoping that is a good omen. I wonder if she will need medication or if the therapy will be enough for now. I had therapy when I was her age and it didn't help me all that much. I ended up just dealing with the depression and trying to ignore it. I hope that she will get what she needs from the therapy and, if not, then the therapist will help use get her the medication or treatments she needs.
I was diagnosed with major depression when I was in my twenties and have been medicated until recently. I am taking ketamine treatments now and actually have one scheduled for today. My previous psychiatrist diagnosed me as bipolar II and heavily medicated me which truly messed me up. I am pretty sure she misdiagnosed me and screwed me up really bad. I'm still working on getting better from that and have been suffering from insomnia, brain fog, and memory loss. I don't know if I will ever get better. I have an appointment with my general practitioner tomorrow about the insomnia. Something needs to happen since I have been getting around 5 hours or so of sleep some nights, sometimes better, sometimes worse. Even when I do get 6 or so hours, I still feel like I haven't slept well. I don't dream, at least that I remember, so I am not sure if I am getting any restful sleep.
