What can you tell us about your W's childhood/teen years? Any traumatic events or situations?
I have heard and read that people that go through GP surgery often will replace the addiction to food for some other kind of addiction. Sometimes alcohol, drugs, etc. Do you know if your W substituted anything for food?
The way you write your story it sounds like your wife keeps searching for something to make her happy.
Were you two in a good place in your M to bring a baby into the fold? Was a baby something you both wanted and were excited about?
You said you had trouble conceiving. Did your W have to have any help to achieve the pregnancy, such as infertility treatments, IV, or something else? I ask because I know that those treatments can throw a wrench into the works as far as throwing hormone balances off.
Did your W experience PPD after the baby was born?
Have you noticed depression throughout her crisis?
You are so right. It's so hard to see the signs when you're living in the eye of the storm.
Please keep posting. It's a good place to vent, and get support.
