A bit down today, more of same from yesterday. W came to see me this morning. Her depression is overwhelming. I tried to be upbeat, talked to her about her plans for the day and the weekend. In her mind she has no plans, no future, nothng to look forward to. I want to reach out to her. I want to try to get her out of her apartment to do something. I want to ignore all this D business and try to emotionally help a woman I have been with for 19 years. Is that so wrong? I don't know if doing so is the right thing to do, or will just make things worse. Do I try to be her friend, do I let her know that I care? Your thoughts would be most appreciated.
