in a deep depression, husband won’t support me? thinks macrobiotic diet cures depression?
July 15th, 2010 | 
Author: My husband loves me very much and wants me to be happy, but he is not understanding of what I’m going through. I am severely depressed mostly stemming from my infertility from my polycystic ovary syndrome. We have been ttc for 6 months and I have miscarried twice and had a chemical pregnancy. I am devestated and an emotional wreck, I cry every day and after I get off work and do my school work I just go to bed and lay there. He comes from a health nut family and he firmly believes if I would eat a macrobiotic diet it would cure my depression. I think its retarded. I came from a family who loves to eat out and cook big meals and I am a meat and potatoes girl, and my husband by all means eats what I eat, but he thinks that if your depressed you should just change your diet around and voila all better. So when I cry to him he has no sympathy he tells me when I’m ready to eat macro he will help me but until then he won’t if I won’t help myself. Its driving a huge wedge between us. Any advice?

You could try eating it, even just to prove the point.

hes crazy, eating healthy is very important but there are more factors 4 how u feel.

I have gone through it, and the three best things for it for me were: 1) changing to a low-carb lifestyle, 2) exercising regularly, and 3) Zoloft.
I did not need to take Zoloft for very long, though (about 6 months?). Exercise is one of the best ways to naturally treat depression.
There are about a million reasons why low-carb dieting is ideal for those with PCOS. It’s the only way most women with PCOS reach/maintain a healthy weight, it can cut down on symptoms, it can bring about ovulation, and it can lower cholesterol. People who look down on it have *no* clue that it’s a lifesaver for those with certain medical conditions. I strongly recommend you keep loving your meat, but replace those potatoes with salads, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. I know it isn’t fair, but your body just hates you for eating them.
With that said, though, if you feel like you need medication this instant, then don’t look for permission from your husband. Sometimes, we have to "take the easy way out" to not want to die, and so be it.
For more support for depression, PCOS, fertility issues, and low-carb lifestyles, you may want to visit http://www.soulcysters.net . Please think hard before taking diet advice from those who don’t suffer from PCOS.
Edit: I just read this: "A macrobiotic diet is a dietary regimen that involves eating grains as a staple food supplemented with other foodstuffs such as vegetables and beans." lol… This is the *worst* way to eat with PCOS. Basing your diet on grains and beans with PCOS? Noooooo. Just, noooooooo.

Obviously you don’t need a diet change. You have real reasons as to why you are depressed and these reasons should be taken seriously. If you feel like you are having trouble coping with the problems alone then I would suggest finding someone you can talk to about it. Try and find self help groups in your area for women battling with possible infertility, or maybe forums online. Only women who are going through or have gone through the same thing can give you the full support and understanding you need. If you would feel the need to, you could also receive a referral from your family doctor to see a psychologist to maybe help find other coping forms right for you. As much as your husband loves you he doesn’t have ovaries and doesn’t have to deal with the feeling of not being able to be pregnant, so he just doesn’t have the tools to fully support you. Explain to him that a diet won’t cure the fact that you have miscarried and that you have polycystic ovary syndrome, because these are the things weighing on your mind.

Try his diet, get his emotional support and then go and see your doctor.
You need emotional support while going through depression and if this is the only way to get it, then I would try the diet..

I do have some advice to your husband but I don’t think he’s going to care for it much. He needs to see the doctor for a procedure we refer to as an rectal craniectomy. In other words, he needs to pull his head out of his ass. Having done that, I suggest both of you talk to your doctor concerning both dietary changes and possible medical treatment for your your depression. Your doctor may also refer you to a mental help counselor who could be of great value in helping you deal with this issue. As to the macrobiotic diet, frankly I don’t know much about that. I do know that your husbands obstructionist and frankly mean behavior is not helping the situation. Please print this answer out and leave it somewhere that he will see it.
To him: You are being an idiot. What happened to for better or for worse, in sickness and in health? Or did the preacher skip over that part? You need to start acting like a grown man instead of a 13 year old. I’m 46, and currently supporting my wife through surgery. It’s not easy, but guess what? Being a man isn’t supposed to be easy. Time to GROW UP!!!

From what you have been going through it is entirely understandable that you are feeling depressed.
Macrobiotics is an emotive topic, particularly for those who adhere to its principles rigidly. I have never seen any scientific studies that suggest it can be used to effectively treat Depression.
Depression is a common illness.
The good news is that it can be treated and most GPs have considerable experience in its management. There are a range of options for its treatment including "talking therapies" and medication. Often these two are combined.
Believe me – if Depression could be treated entirely by a Macrobiotic diet then its use would be widespread as it is a lot cheaper than medication and / or talking therapies !
It’s my belief that you should see a Doctor and discuss how you are feeling with them. They can then discuss what options they believe would be best suited to your particular case.
Good luck

Instead of looking at as a health nut "diet" ask yourself, "Does the quality of the food you eat have any impact on your health, your blood sugar levels, hormone levels, mood swings and so on?"
Look at especially "blood sugar" levels and how they might relate to depression.
Just a suggestion….

Own Experience
You have 5 children and are trying to adopt (according to your other q’s) and if you are this stressed out and upset, you are not going to be able to provide stability for the children that you have. You can’t pass a home study to adopt if you are in such dire straits.
You need to see a doctor. You need to also eat better, especially with the PCOS. Talk to your primary care doctor about getting on a better diet, and for a referral for a psychiatrist. Only a professional can make a proper assessment about your mental health. You may need some medication to help get things back on track.
I have a close friend with PCOS, and she went on a full diabetic diet, and it worked wonders. Food is there to nourish your body, not your soul, and it sounds like you are not eating properly for your condition. A better diet can help, but you might very well need some medications and therapy to help with the rest.
Please, do this for your five babies!

It doesn’t matter what your husband things. You know how bad you are feeling. You have concrete reasons for the way you feel. There is no way he can understand what you’ve been going through because he’s not a woman. Please get some professional help so you can feel better. You have suffered long enough.
