Rapidly falling into the 'all-consuming' emotional drain again. This week with W has been hard, esp. the steps of formalizing the D. It is what she want, what she needs, so be it.

W has been suffering from depression for at least 2 years, if not more. Read in a depression self-help book last night that those prone to depression had to be careful of different circumstances that might bring on depression episodes, including:
-divorce
-major geographic relocation
-loss of friends
-losing/changing jobs
-financial issues
-dark or cold weather

My W is currently doing ALL of these, but is convinced that D is the only way to happiness. WTF? I just drop the rope and don't worry about her?
