I have been posting mainly in Newcomers but I have some questions that I think some of you all have probably experienced.

I am really hoping to hear from those of you dealing with a depressed WAS. I am curious about how well DBing works on someone whose thinking is disordered. My H appears to be pulling further and further away from everyone (not just me as I believed in the beginning of all of this).

How does one DB a separated spouse who is hiding from everyone who knew him before he was depressed? We have one mutual friend who has told me somethings about him (the only reason she knows is they work together) and the rest I have deduced, e.g. will not return emails/phone calls from my nephew (they were good friends).

I have read the DR section on dealing with a depressed spouse and while it says be patient and try to get him to see a counselor, it does not really say much else. So I am wondering if those of you further down the path could tell me about your situations or point out some links for me to read.

It has been suggested that I see Imlin and Yellowrose's threads. I am not very gifted on this site and cannot find the beginning of either of those threads so I cannot really see what happened.

Sorry so long, just looking for some thoughts.

Thanks,
Beth
