Hi everyone, I am new here. Trying still to understand how this works...;)
My husband has depression, and I am finding hard to cope with isolation and been completely ignored by him.
He is closed inside a shell, and I really don't know how to open it. He doesn't talk to me about his feelings, he is so distant, I can't reach him. And that hurts.
I don't know what to do.

Hi Titi,
Welcome to the forums.
It's always difficult being the support person for someone with depression. It must be even more difficult now when you are in isolation. Is your partner receiving treatment for his depression? A lot of doctors and psychologies are still seeing patients over the phone.
Do you have support for yourself? Even if you don't suffer from mental illness, talking to a psychologist can be really helpful when you are supporting someone else through it.
