My husband was terrible when I first started getting depressed about 3-4 years ago. Snap out of it. You're making yourself depressed by thinking about it too much. When I was in the hospital after coming very close to killing myself -- a real man, he said, would just commit suicide and not whine about it. (I'm not a man, but I got the gist). What helped a lot was having him finally, after begging and begging, meet with my p-doc. He really liked him and recognized that I didn't just do to therapy to "whine."
Also, I slipped into a really severe, didn't get out of bed for a month, depression and my husband was alarmed and spent a lot of time back and forth on the phone with my p-doc. I have gotten better, thanks to meds, therapy with my p-doc and DBT therapy and my husband recognizes this and now, if I slip and lock myself in my room for a day or two, he is empathic and keeps in contact to make sure I am OK.
