"She does sound like she has some serious depression issues that may involve some intervention eventually."
My wife is experiencing major depression. I see it in her eyes. I mentioned her excessive sleeping and her isolating herself in her apartment in a recent, previous thread. My kids and I returned from Hawaii this past Friday. On Saturday my wife had the kids. She told me she and our daughter took a three hour nap that afternoon. On Sunday morning I had to call her for some reason, called around 9:40a, and she was just getting up. Sunday afternoon she took another long nap. She told me this when she came to the house to pick up our daughter, who, I might add, doesn't sleep as much as my wife, and she's only 2 yrs old.
About the 'intervention', what would you recommend? In the past year I've asked my wife to get her hormones checked (didn't go well), go have a full physical check up (she finally did, but in China, with her uncle, who is a heart specialist, no blood work), have asked her to attend marriage counseling and/or church with me a handful of times and she's always refused. Just yesterday I asked her to attend marriage counseling before making any rash decisions about the marriage and she said no.
Anyhow, long story long, I have no clue what type of intervention might work. She appears to be making effort to re-connect with her parents and our son, but, other than complaining to her parents about me being satan re-incarnate, doesn't confide in anyone except DJ. She doesn't hang out with other woman, and I think it's a safe assumption to say that she's too proud to confide her problems to any [female] friend at work.Did I already mention that I hate DJ?
