Depression Understood Forums

The docs tell me I'm depressed and I am, but isn't there another name for it when others cause me to tailspin because of their own issues? I was clearly driven over the edge into my breakdown (aka: major depressive episode) by many others actions toward me.
Today, again, I find myself wanting to be done with this life because I am told that I am never enough of whatever. Never good enough. And this isn't me speaking, it's my husband.
He consistantly tells me I'm not doing enough. For years. And now that he finally broke me, I know I'm not able to do enough and he preys upon that. So am I depressed or something else?

Vic, it's never ok to make someone else feel pain. EVER. No matter who it is coming from. Nobody is worthless. We all have value. Including you. Don't allow someone else to take that away from you. I really hate that this exists, but there are some people out there who only feel good when they make someone else feel bad. They find their own worth in your pain. And it's not right. Especially in a marriage. It's called abuse. I hope you go and talk to a counselor and take the steps needed to find some measure of peace in your life.

Yes, like obayan said it's abuse. Verbal abuse. My dad is constantly doing the same thing to my mom. I'm sorry this is happening to you. No one should ever do that to a woman. I hope you can get it worked out somehow. I think, again like obayan said, talk to a counselor or therapist. That's a good place to start.
