[quote=Anonymous]11:17 You are spot on, and the answer is no he is not doing anything other than taking the meds and seeing an occasional therapist.

This is not because he does not want to do those other things, but rather he is on a bit of a downward spiral that is the result of many accumulated stresses and issues, primarily, but not entirely, career based. Its no understatement to say that we have brushed with financial ruin. But we have managed it becuase _I_ make sure and manage bills and let him know exactly what we need and what needs to happen. Without me, he would be truly lost. And I dont say that because I love being in that position. In fact it scares me. So, really, what I am doing is a combination of doing what needs to eb done now to keep thigns going and stabilizing him and looking to the future for models on how I actually want this life with him to look like. Then he needs to have the wherewithall to realize that maybe he needs to make his life look like the one he wants by doing really sensible pull up by the bootstraps kind of stuff.

I should add that in addition to depression he has terrible chronic back pain which affects him and EVERYthing every single day, _AND_ he has ADD, also not currently being treated, although the wellbutrin is supposed to work for both the depression and the add.

He forgot his last psych appointment. That just about captures it.[/quote]
