[QUOTE="quattro610, post: 846906, member: 180896"] I was diagnosed type 2 about 18 months ago after a regular blood test for my thyroid ( take thyroxin for that) which was diagnosed 2 years before that. |I have always been a happy go lucky kind of guy and not much has ever stressed me out. I also have had asthma for 20 years and getting stressed out of upset with that alone is a no no. My wife has had clinical depression for the last 10 years and was finally diagnosed Jan 2015 after having a breakdown. With 2 kids the last few years have been a real struggle. Keeping the kids happy with their mother being a ticking time bomb as she changes moods in a nano second is bad enough as and you cannot reason with someone who is paranoid, OCD and mentally depressed. I can put up with the problems but the worst is living with someone who will not help herself let alone me. Doing literally everything, having a full time job with the added pressure of holding the family together without any form of comfort, reassurance, love and warmth from the one that is supposed to give this to her husband from within is the killer. The Kids are my world so I will do what is needed for them. A divorce is the best option and friendswho I have taken into my confidence cannot understand why I have not done this and love to give me their point of view which I do not need or want so I keep people at arms length so I don't have the stress of others who know best. Having someone to listen and not judge or tell me what is best for me would be a real boost... but People being people ... well I do not hold out to much hope. Just feels good sometimes to shout it out. Time to chill , regroup and carry on the fight. Thanks for posting it was an interesting read. [/QUOTE]
