Oh my gosh, I know exactly how your husband is feeling. I knew that I felt this way a long time ago and I did what I could to bury those feelings or avoid situations that caused me to feel like running . It came to full cycle 3 yrs ago when I couldn't leave the house or talk to anyone outside. I've been taking alprazolam (xanax) to help. But, it doesn't always work. Mine stemmed from my past and abuse. Sometimes I think some people , normally of high intelligence, are born this way. My own father at the age of 55, became sick with it and eventually tried suicide. Please be patient with your husband and try to see if you can get him to talk with a Dr. Even if it's telehealth. It doesn't get better until you figure out what's causing it and medication . Thx

I know this post is from a few years but I'm struggling. What you and the OPs husband is going through sounds a lot like me. What helped you the most? My psych dr switched me from cymbalta to Pristiq and it's helping but not to the extent I'd like. I still don't wanna go out of the house and I have my family run errands for me. I'm not even motivated/want to answer the door. Even for a🍃💨 delivery (it's legal here in AZ) and that's pretty bad. I could definitely use some tips! Especially with making myself take a shower because I'm not even doing that.

Thank you for your response. He does have a phsciatrist who is touching bases via phone and trying different meds for his depression. Trying to get a counselor, they are all filled up within 50 miles of us, no new patients. So right now I am it.
