Any help would be great.

I'm ~40 with depression.    It's been rough the last few days.

I believe it has gotten worse as my wife (~40) has been going through some strong mood swings and paranoia.     I don't know if it's the new diet medicine (P?) or menopause, etc.    She doesn't trust me, but everyone else around us, she does.....    Makes it sooo tough, and I've cried soooo much.

She'll be fine one moment, and the next moment her face changes expressions, color, and she's either mad, sad, etc.     

She'll tell me to turn off my phone, so no one is listening, and asks me if I'm plotting with the kids against her.   One moment she flips-me-off, the next she's asking me to go buy soda.....

I don't know what's going on, but could use any help....

We're supposed to be both getting in for counseling soon, I hope it helps.....

@dkp6991‍ Hey there. I’m sorry for the delayed response! Sometimes I don’t see it right away. If you tag me at the beginning I’ll see it sooner. But anyway....I was wondering if it might be those diet pills. I hate those things. They are so unsafe. Has she considered going off of them? Her health is so much more important than a diet. And that’s good, that she’s talking with a psychiatrist! How are YOU doing?

Hello Update.

She is now on Risperodol(sp), but isn't taking it consistently.

The other thing is, over the course of our 25 year marriage.

She has written down cases where shes cheated on me about  8 times..

What do you guys think of this cheating.    I think it'll continue.

So thinking about a divorce.

Thanks again!
