[quote=Anonymous]Op I'm sorry this sounds hard to deal with.

I would organise a cleaner to come and clean the house weekly.  I would organise a new appointment with the doctor and consider changing her medication.

I would stop with all the suggestion of activities.  I would tell your wife that you understand she is going through a dark time, that you are there for her, tell her she needs to help herself as you can't do it for her.  Ask her what she needs.

I would try to get her outside, even out the back yard or a walk around the block once a day. Do this with her, you don't need to talk just be there. Something small, 15 minutes, to feel the sun, fresh air etc.

I would get the kids out of the house for activities and let her sleep and rest.

I would give it a time frame for how long you are comfortable going with this for.  I would then make plans to separate.  After another 6 months or a year if she can't drag herself to the doctor or to therapy then yes at some point you need to consider the life you want to live.[/quote]
