First and foremost - your health safety and wellbeing are of the highest priority. My husband realized long ago that I have a drinking problem, but the depression and anxiety were nothing he could relate to. He made fun of me rather than get angry, but that's his nature (and it hurts no less in some ways). I have bombarded him with literature, websites, offered to bring him to appointments, just hammered away at him.
After a year of intense treatment on my part, he is STARTING to have a glimmer of understanding. I just wanted him to believe that I was ill and was getting help, and he does "get" it.
A 5 month old marriage is a fragile thing. Who knows what ghosts your problems have stirred in him? I really would reccomend some counselling for both of you; but if he is not ready for that, you definitely should get some for yourself. Medication alone is not enough to help us get better, I am convinced of that (there are different camps of thinking on this issue, but I personally am responding to therapy and medication).
Will you be able to get your medications sorted out before you leave for the weekend? That is pretty critical right now.
Hugs to you, Sabrina. We are all here and pulling for you.
