I ho...I've been through the crazy spouse shit too. I hope that you end up where I ended up: with a spouse that is no longer depressed.<BR/><BR/>My wife didn't get to the point of hospitalization, but it came very close. She also wasn't suicidal (at least not that she admitted to).<BR/><BR/>My wife has always been anxious and prone to panic attacks, but after 9/11, things got really weird. She had an irrational fear of everything. She became extremely depressed. She would stay in her pjs all day, it was really hard to get her out of bed, she cried pretty much all day.<BR/><BR/>She went to counseling with a really good psychologist that I knew (he was one of my professors) and her doc put her on Effexor and Klonapin.<BR/><BR/>She still whacks out occassionaly, but it's the whack out that us "normal" people do.<BR/><BR/>I hope they can find a good mix of meds and therapy for your husband so that things can return to "normal" for you.Eclipse75048https://www.blogger.com/profile/15531836160923724265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15606440.post-1155235673682958042006-08-10T14:47:00.000-04:002006-08-10T14:47:00.000-04:00Go for the list.

Maybe you could get a relative to watch the kids for a night - I think you deserve a bubble bath and a good cry. And some ice cream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
