[quote=Anonymous]I feel for you, OP.  My DH suffers from depression/ADHD/anxiety.  The spirals are tough being married has been exhaustive.  But, when my DH's depression is controlled, I really see the great guy I married.  What has been a real issue is that there have been times when it's not been controlled and he wasn't seeking help.  As you know, the depression makes the ADHD worse and the ADHD makes the depression worse and it's just this horrible negative feedback look that makes me want to escape.  But, we've made it through those times and while I can see he's going through a seasonal change with the depression, I've got enough resiliency left to weather it until he stablizes.

Resiliency - that's your key.  I know you can't talk to a lot of people about this but you have really got to do something to recharge.  You MUST MUST MUST.  Look for some activities on Groupon that you'd like to try but wouldn't normally (I took a 'how to make a mosaic' class).  Go window shopping in Old Town.  Go to a flea market.  Just do something that makes you feel like you used to feel.  Hang in there!  Hugs![/quote]
