Wow -- you are really onto something with your assessment about depression. Yes, yes, yes. I certainly saw that cycle with my own depressive thinking.
Thanks for your post to me about this. I have seen some breakthroughs with The Wart lately -- he's admitting he's depressed. He just doesn't know much about what that means, or what you can do about it.
I gotta go slowly with advice, he's recoiled from me for a long time -- don't wanna trigger that again.
But when the moment's been right, I have been able to share with him the things I DID to overcome "the blues" -- searching and rejecting till I found a GOOD C, going on anti-depressants instead of letting the despair engulf me, and bibliotherapy.
My H has been listening and nodding -- pretty amazing.
Can I just dose him with my leftover Prozac?
Time and patience and timing and more patience, right?
Glad things are going well with you. Coming to SF this month? Wanna see those awesome arms of yours!
