How To Get Her to Take Her Meds
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2013 1:15 pm
1st time posting. Not sure if this is the right place or not.
My wife of 22 years was given some meds for her depression about 6 months ago. She has not started taking them yet.
She goes through spurts where she seems fine. For instance, yesterday she had lunch with a friend of hers, my daughter said she came home in a good mood.
She took a nap, and then seemed to be in a good mood then as well.
When I walked in the door from work, her mood changed. My daughter even noticed.
Yes, we are having problems in our marriage, some of it has to do with me, but we keep having these cycles of every few months where she just seems to get worse.
She is very negative at times and always seems to find the worse in people including our daughter.
I'm posting this on this site instead of a marriage website because I just realized this morning that her brother has the same sort of issues as well, but he's better when he's on his meds.
How do I go about approaching my wife to take her meds? Since she reluctant to try them because she's afraid she'll get addicted.
