I see no positives. Everyday seems the same: wake up, take care of kids and other responsibilities, get dressed to maybe get a call for an interview (which hasn't happened in 2 months), pray a bunch, leave him alone about us, and go to bed at night hoping something good will happen the next day. How am I to keep doing this? Nothing is working. How do I keep it up with no encouraging signs?
The only way to keep it up is to start finding more friends and family and activities that are positive to keep you distracted during this period as time passes. A watched pot is not going to boil. And it might not boil anyway!
Sorry to hear you are having a rough week. But glad if he is yelling less.
You said, "Our deacon is convinced that he's depressed and doesn't know what he's doing."
He's probably right. He's in a fog you can't change. It's like a death. It is very hard. Reach out to your friends and fammily for support and try to distract yourself with positive activities if you can. A job hunt alone is stressful. Much less all of this!
