Number 8:

I can envision him lying in a state of repose a great deal of the time. I can also picture him holed up in his old bedroom, staying on the computer or playing on his iPhone.


I have this vision a lot too. LOL. Complete with iphone.



Number 8:

It's so hard for me to think about his isolating himself. I wish there was some way I could help him, but I know that I can't do that right now.

Do we just leave them to wallow in their depression???




My IC said yeah, pretty much. The DR books say yeah, pretty much. But some of the online materials about depression say occaionally try to draw them out to do positive stuff. Kind of hard to do when you are the target of many of life's troubles though. I go back and forth between the two and try to detach, stay busy, do a lot of positive stuff for me.

Did an hour walk this mornign. Perfect spring day. Going to do some things with other people but will probably check back in later today. Going to try not to lie in repose with iphone myself. Ha.
