[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think I can relate to what your partner may be going through. I'm an extremely extroverted person. And for me, that means that not much goes on when I'm left to myself. I can waste huge amounts of time. Then I sort of snap back into focus (and action) for social times.

I work, but have an interest in staying at home at some point in the future. I am very worried that I'd just veg out and get depressed, though.

In addition to investigating treatment for depression, it might be interesting for both of you to take the myers briggs test. Learning more about how you each operate could lead to some insights.

For me, I know it would be great to have my partner help me add structure to the days and weeks. Making lists together and then knowing that we'd be checking the items off together in the evenings. Creating a more socially interactive element to doing solo tasks. My husband is an introvert, and happens to be good at managing his time and getting things done, but he gets that I need certain things that he doesn't. I'm lucky!

Best of luck to your family in getting things back on track![/quote]
