I just finished reading the six stages. I would have to agree that she's in the depression stage. She told me last night that she seriously considered swallowing a bottle of pills, but one of her friends talked her down from it. When we were going out to get dinner she made the statement that maybe the roads will be really bad on her way home and she'll crash and die. She was also beating herself up pretty bad through all of the talk. Saying how bad of a person she was and things like that. I just reassured her that I didn't think that she was a horrible person and that I try to understand the best that I can how she is feeling.
Looking back, I'd have to say that she's followed the MLC script pretty closely too. It started over a year ago.
I have heard of the tunnel analogy, and I honestly thought that she went down the tunnel and came back out and decided she wanted to work on things. I was obviously off base on that one. Maybe she just enjoys running back and forth in the tunnel...
