ShawnJ, allow me to speak from experience.

My W has major depression and anxiety. Has not been medicated for about 6 months or so. The illnesses are different, yes. Bottom line is, and I'm sure you know this...when people with illnesses like this have no regulation to this (diet, exercise, medication, etc.), it's hard for them to be in a clear headspace. I think this may be a huge contribution to my issue. I can see a similarity in your a little. We had tried therapy. We went to one session. Come to find out, she only went because I wanted to. She already made up her mind.

I guess my point is: she has to want to go because shewants to save this relationship. Again, just from experience, this will not work. I truly hope it does for you. But again, without that personal drive from her, it may wind up being a waste of time.

Did you respond to her text?
