Hi Purplenanny,
Please,please stay positive in thinking that one day you WILL get your husband back.
My husband thought I'd gone forever but my psychiatrist told him," I'll get your wife back".
It took longer than we both expected,but I came back!
I know it's hard but try and be positive for your husband but at the same time he has to have a positive attitude too.
Easier said than done when you are where he is.
However bad I felt I kept telling myself,"you'll get there,you'll get there"
At times I did think that it would never end but I quickly turned it around.
Perhaps the CBT came into it then.
It is very hard for the person who is looking on and my husband will admit he went through a difficult time too seeing me each day struggling but with his love,optimism and belief in the help I was getting we made it!

for you both at this difficult time.
Love Dyan X
