We are about to " Celebrate our 54th year of loving marriage but these last few months of this year have presented stress and depression between us. There has been no communication or joyance experiences between us like all the years before. We have become introverted and agoraphobic that we never go out together anymore. I buy her things for holidays, manage day to day expenses, help with anything she wishes but her face and demure remain sad. In our teens, a tickle and dinner out would replace any short term depression. Now I have come to a blog site for support and only hope someone out there understands. Else "Not trying enough" will be my pain. It may be "Married on Friday the 13th" was what the end curse meant for the last of our married life. Sad!

Seek help
Depression symptoms that persist more than a couple of weeks would surely deserve attention?
I think also any medical issues might need to be considered?
I would seek help from the medical profession.

I agree that your best route is to seek help immediately from your doctor. If you don't currently have a mental health professional, please go to your primary care provider, describe your situation, and request a referral to a mental health provider.
