I seem to be having a rough time with everything. I am a very anxious person to begin with, worry all the time but extremely organized. My husband told me this morning to go see "somebody" because our marriage would not survive this...my IC problems/depression and, as he puts it "taking it out on everybody" I've learned to isolate myself if I am too upset, too anxious or of course in too much pain. I don't think my children need to see it (7yo boy, 10 yo girl, 13 yo boy) I do request my husband to spend some time with me, you know a shoulder to cry on, etc... he always has an excuse, or he says he'll come in to check on me (NEVER does) or he'll be coming to bed in a minute(COMES in 3 hours later) I tell him how this makes me feel, he says it my fault..I'm not pleasant therefore, he doesn't want to be around me. I told him that it feel like the more I need his emotional support, the more he is emotionally distant. HELP!! Should we see a counselor? I'm afraid they won't understand the disease and it'll make things worse..most people don't understand the disease..how do I get him to understand before he runs away?
