hubby affected by depression of friend Posted: 01-11-08 17:52pm
Recently, a mutual friend of my husband &
I has been admitted to the psych ward for
depression & anxiety. I have been
offering a great deal of support to his
wife (she & I were friends first) &
helping her through the whole process.
Meanwhile, my hubby (bipolar) & the
husband spent time together a few times &
my hubby feels very affected by the
situation. He states he feels bad for the
husband and wants to do something for him.
We talked through his feelings & noted
that the husband has needed to get help
for a long time.
I don't know what else I can do or if
hubby is going to need more support. He
saw his therapist 2 days ago, but I don't
know how that went. I suppose I just feel
worried about my hubby, in hopes that he's
not going to take this situation too hard.
He's such a caring person & I don't want
him to suffer for this person's situation.
However, my friend (the wife) is coming
over this weekend to pick up a microwave
we're donating to the husband & I feel
this will help my hubby feel better about
things.
