Does anyone else live with someone who is chronically depressed? How do you not go insane yourself? He rarely smiles, I can't remember the last time he laughed. But he's 'okay'. It's the rest of the world that is the problem. I find myself avoiding him.

I refuse to be dragged down too. I'm going for a walk. Blah.

Something sweet.

I remember you spoke recently of your husband who had been  striken by a kind of illness , but not too much ( error excepted ). I don' t remember exactly why it was and I cannot go up your entries . Depression is a real and serious illness and needs cares . Yes , you are right to be a bit distant until he goes better . But this is sad . I have compassion , Kathy .
love

Michel

I can't think how terrible that must be. Depression is a demon that does not easily release its pray. You will have to dig deep to fill yourself with energy and make sure you connect with enough other people to keep yourself sane. ...If all else fail...write on Xanga and at least know we support you.

No, I have not lived with someone chronically depressed. I have BEEN that chronically depressed person. It has to be tough, rest assured being the depressed partner is extremely tough too. Depression .. well, it sucks. All the way around.

Aw, Kathy, I think we can ALL relate to that....it's hard for both, maybe harder for the spouse, how long has he been like that?
