A score of 50 and a trip to the psych

Hubby's meeting at work went pretty badly and resulted in him resigning (or being forced to). So he is working for his dad's business for a while and looking for work elsewhere.

I just did a DepTest and scored 50. Mild depression. My last two scores had been 40, and I had been registering No Depression for a fair while. TIme to go back to the psych - this is knocking me around a bit.

The stress and sadness has a drastic effect on my physical health too- I feel ill and tired. Headaches, back pain.

Adam's birthday tomorrow. I love him so much, and I desparately want to be there for him, but I am barely keeping myself together. I truly love him. This puts it all into perspective - I am not that cut up about the job, we'll be fine. I just feel... grey.

He is the most important thing in my world. I guess I know I'll get through becasue he is there for me.

Maybe you could think of something special for Adam. Ir would be for you too, and your relationship. Happy Birthday Adam. I had a birthday to deal with a few weeks ago, didn't know if I could do it, dragged myself anxiously through what I hoped would be sufficient. We had a quiet one, but nice I think. A couple of really thoughtful presents and a shared meal seems OK with most people. It really doesn't matter that you feel grey, just do something to brighten Adam's day and you'll both shine as he loves you, don't forget that.

Thanks Stanford. I know Adam loves me too, and I guess I am there for him. I will always be by his side, no matter what.

That is something I will let him know on his birthday.

Hi, It's hard when you are grey and detached. Couple of hugs a day and opening up on how you are feeling will help.

Cheers

Gday MissJ
Sorry you dont sound as well as when we were on the chat line and that things didn,t go well for your husband. You sound like you and him have every thing going for yourselves.I dont think there would be anything that you as a couple could not beat.

Hi MissJ.

It's been awhile since I have written anything here. My life is going well. I like to kind of check in and see how you and my other gaurdian angels are....those that helped me make the choice to control my life.
I quit my job in feb '06....had no money....and started our own business. and we are happy.
You really are right, you will o.kay. You have love.
No matter the potential drop in income. Or how the bills might pile up (happened to me). You have a person to love and someone that loves you.
Big hugs.
