living with my depressed fiancee'

I hope I can find some help here... I have been with my fiancee for 3 years. He is the best thing that could ever happen to me. He is funny, romantic, he helps with housework, he keeps my daughter for me when I have to work, there are a thousand other wonderful things about him... BUT he gets in these moods, he's tried to explain it to me that no matter how good he should feel about life, he gets down and he can't pull himself out of it. I know that this is his battle and it has nothing to do with his feelings for me. But it is so hard when he is like this because he is so irritated all the time, he makes me and my daughter feel like everything we do is wrong. There is no communication, I feel like we have to tiptoe around him so we don't set him off. Then, when he snaps out of it, he's his normal, wonderful self again until the next time, which could be a matter of minutes, or weeks. The winter months are always the worst. We almost split up every year around this time because he becomes more depressed than happy, he's almost impossible to please. If anyone can give me some advice on how to cope with this, we don't have insurance so medication or therapy are out of the question. I am just tired of being frustrated and sad but I don't want to lose this great guy I have!!

You can get a prescription discount card, I think it is calle Together rx, I have the card and you get 25-40% off the cost of pills. Generics don't cost that much, maybe you can get him into the dr. like the person above said, make a payment plan for the visit, and get him some help. It won't go away and it won't get better on it's own. Omega 3 capsules are also very helpful, as is getting out in the sunshine every day. Good luck sweetie.
