Subject: Hello, I'm new here

Hello everyone. This is my first time posting to a depression support group. I was diagnosed with depression about a month ago. In the past three years three different people have suspected depression, but only one has diagnosed it. Luckily it's mild, but it sure doesn't feel it some days. I'm 23, married, no kids, three cats, and out of work right now. I do web updating, and I'm hoping to hear about a job within a couple of days. My husband travels a lot for business and without work I get very lonely. I'm trying to see a psychiatrist to get a prescription for an antidepressant and ADD (my therapist is not licensed to prescribe drugs). My husband just wants me to snap out of it. He says my changes in the past few years are just part of who I am and I should just accept them, but I don't feel very happy with the changes and I don't like them, but I just can't seem to make the connection between "I don't like this" and "I need to do this to fix it". When I talk to him about this he makes me feel like it's my fault and I'm doing something wrong. He loves me, and I know he wants to be happy, but he's barely in touch with his own feelings and so can't imagine or empathize with me. He's a wonderful man, and is so good to me, but in this regard he doesn't understand. I'm sorry I'm rattling on here, but I just want to talk to someone who does understand. Thanks everyone.
