Thanks for the input. I'm one of those people that doesn't like to sit and do nothing. I can read and learn a lot..that's fine with me. I do want to be supportive of him but have definitely learned over the years not to neglect me
It won't do either of us good if I do that! He knows that I'm here for him through good and bad times and that I do give him the "push" he needs from time to time.
The good news is that he is going to the drs at 3 today and he's open to whatever the dr. decides..meds and therapy. Not excited about the tough stuff with therapy, but willing to do it. His boss was wonderful on the phone, talked to him and asked what he thinks caused this to happen, he asked if there was anything he could do to help him get through this, to help us get through this, the boss made some nice comments about what a good worker he is and that he did notice he has seemed a bit "distant and moody" lately. He asked about meds and therapy and again, offered support there. He told my husband to call him tomorrow and they'd talk more...doesn't sound like he'll lose his job..but I guess we won't know for sure until tomorrow!
Thanks again and one more question, any idea where I might find good reading on depression???
Thanks
