Today, I get off work early to go help my daughter with a concession stand for middle school volleyball. That will be interesting. At least it will keep me busy. Then, my son has football practice this evening, so I don't know what we're going to do for dinner and I probably won't get a workout in. We've walked the dog the last couple of nights, so at least I've gotten a walk in, but tonight I may not even be able to do that.
I've been feeling depressed lately. I think my hubby staying out ridiculously late the other night was just the straw that broke the camel's back. I can't even talk to him, I just don't have the energy to argue about it. I thank everyone who's been supportive here and let me know I'm not alone, that really has helped. I know I need to talk to him, but I feel like my being depressed has maybe made the situation seem worse than it is, or maybe I'm finally admitting to myself that our marriage has issues and just don't know how to deal with them. For some reason I've also been processing a traumatic experience that happened when I was 17, and I don't know why it is coming back up now. I'm thinking about looking into counseling. I can get an appointment through work, but it seems embarrassing.
Anyway, thanks again to everyone who's given me kind words or advice, it really means a lot to me!

There is no shame in pursuing counseling. Depression is a very real, potentially serious ailment. I had a lot of issues from my childhood that led to severe depression in my teenage years and young adult life. I did seek out counseling and it helped. It helped me to see the situations from the outside looking in, and work through them rather than hiding from them. If you think this would benefit you, then go for it. You deserve to live the best life possible, so don't put yourself on the back burner, and never ever waste your thoughts worrying about what someone else may think of it. Enjoy your time with the kids tonight, always a bonus to get out of work early. Keep your chin up :-) Walk or no walk, try and make the best out of your evening!

I agree with Yolanda, there is no shame in going for counselling. You need some you time and if you don't help yourself, things will feel worse. Good luck.

My mother was a psychologist and everything is confidential. She wouldn't even discuss who her patients were, so unless you were to tell people at work, they cannot as it would violate your privacy. Good luck! I wish I could say that I understand, but my husband would never do that to me. Sometimes he would go to baseball games with his friends, he always would call on the way home even if it was 1:00 in the morning. If you cannot talk with him about this and it bothers you, maybe seeing someone will help gain the skills to confront him and be able to talk about without fighting. We are here for you.

Thanks everyone! I think I'll call our EAP this evening or tomorrow morning and see if I can get in to see someone. I've been to a therapist in the past, but didn't really think it did much, but I was also 18, so it may have been a bad attitude.
