I too suffer at times with depression. I understand it. Tell the depression you can take your shoes off and stay awhile, but not for long. When you are in it, the feeling apathy to anything joyful or happy is a soul sucking nightmare.

Of course we are awake to the most tragic realities and even the toughest are affected. If you don’t get mournful and sad with the knowledge you have gained, you have no heart.

My suggestion is if you are on meds for it, stop. Embrace the sad time and feel what you are feeling. Sober. And know that the darkness will leave. Meds make it worse.

Feeling and embracing your depression and then letting it go is key. You are not your depression. You and your wife are feeding off each others low vibes. The positive side is she is not being a bubbly go getter ready to conquer the world which can make one more depressed when they see their partner not ever getting down. Trust me. My guy is like that. Lol.

It’s all good. This time will pass. And No more meds.
