Hi mmarynuk,
Glad you found this forum. You are not a failure.
If you are unable to afford medication you can apply to trillium. They will pay you a certain amount for your drugs and pay the rest. They base the amount you have to pay on what you earn and your husband together. Their is information about this on the internet. I applied a long time ago and I can't remember too well the details.
Probably other members on the forum would know more than me.
I admit it was tough for my husband to live me with my mental illness. He always supported me. He could empathize with me but didn't really know what I was going through.
There is information on how a spouse can try to cope and understand mental illness.
