It's strange. My wife does that a lot of late. I have always thought I was the problem ,because much of the anger is directed toward me. But I am not the problem. I have dealt with my illness, I have gotten treatment, I will talk to someone about what's going on. Why do some people think they can just keep running away? Run away by sleeping all day. Run away by making themselves mad at you. Run away by shopping until all the money has been spent (and then some). Run away by sequestering themselves in the back room watching TV in the dark. There is only one other place to run, and if it weren't for our children, I think she would think about running there. How can I get her to get help? Every time I have addressed the issue over the past several years, she withdraws even deeper and for longer. For a time in DEC-JAN. I thought she was coming out of it when she started Wellbutrin, but she has regressed. It scares me, it exacerbates my depression and anxiety. My 7 year old is picking up on it.. "What's wrong with mommy"? How can I get her the help she needs when she won't admit there is a problem? How can she not? Maybe it's the guilt from these things that causes her darkness to get deeper? Friends can't help, her family can't help. They don't see it like I do, because she can put on the facade for a little while around them. But I see it every day. Darkness, sadness ...hopelessness?
Calling all cars.....
