Hi Ellie- Thanks for answering my question over in MLC. It just seemed strange to me that my H was depressed for a month, then all the craziness started. According to him, he's not depressed anymore. And he went to a psychologist, and am guessing she told him the same (he says so). This may sound like a stupid question, but I feel like I "get" something new everyday - so, the self-medicating part, drinking (not a lot, more like a short trial period to see if it made him feel better), affair (the high from sneaking around I guess, plus the sex), smoking like a fiend - that all took the place of the medication that he should be taking. The medication would actually help, where these things are short term fixes, and he'll wear out the effects? Am I understanding that correctly? So even though he may be depressed, he may not seem like it to an outsider while "self-medicating"....? Thank you for all your knowledge (and yes, it could be thyroid , but he wouldn't go to a dr, and now he's 3000 miles away...sigh) DBH
