Thank you for all of your input. Well, since I first posted, we've had "up" days and "down days" but last night was by far the lowest I have ever seen him and it scared me. I invited him over with hopes of trying to talk to him about getting on anti-depressants, he ate dinner and passed out on the couch for 3 hours and I lost my chance--I couldn't even wake him up he was so exhausted (a sign of depression I keep trying to get him to see!) Anyway, he came over again today after work, and was in a little better mood, we talked, and I think he finally realizes that he cannot keep living like this and needs to get help--his cousin told him the same thing today, which I'm sure made a big difference--hearing it from someone not directly involved with either of us. As of right now, he has agreed to not make any "rash" decisions overnight. All I have to do now is get him to dial the phone to make the appointment...but I know he has to do it when HE wants to.
