What is the root cause of my depression & anxiety

What you said is very right. It’s only me & my husband here & there’s no none. I also can’t tell my husband frankly all about my feelings & how I am suffering being here because I don’t want him to depress like me. He resigned his job to accompany me to support my career & he may also has guilty conscience for not being able to earn income at this point of time. If he knows I am suffering here, I am afraid it will hurt his feelings.

@ohnmar Even though you haven't talked openly with your husband about how you are feeling it's very likely that he does know that you are feeling depressed. I know this is very difficult but I suggest you talk with him about how you are feeling. You don't have to or need to say you want to quit your job and move home. That's not the point of this at all. It's a way to open the communication with your husband because that it is very key to a good relationship. Also, if you talk with him about you - and use "I" statements such as "I'm feeling very sad and I want to share how I'm feeling with you. I'm not asking you to fix or solve anything for me. I would just like for you to listen" and then reassure him this is not about him and that you very much appreciate him. This is about supporting one another with the thought that no one is to blame here. It's about how he feels his emotions and you feel your emotions.
What do you think about my suggestion?
