It's Complicated! Part 5

[kjensen]

Remember your H's feelings and moods are not yours.
Don't take the depression and all of the behaviors that go with it personally. NONE of it has to do with you. The depressed person is in a bubble in their own world-its not the same world you live in...They know what they want to do, maybe even what they should do to feel better, but it is a HUGE effort to make even one stop towards that feeling better place. It takes time, sometimes meds/therapy..It seems to me it is easiest to deal with an H's depression by having compassion with distance and constantly remembering NOT to take the odd behaviors/comments/words so seriously or personally..
