[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 49550, member: 3211"] My husband has a short wick. Always has, although before kids, etc., he was more happy-go-lucky, for sure. Now, because of his medical issues, he's been home full time for more than a year and has severe sleep issues and somedays I'm positive he is a true difficult child in the worst sense. He is only 35 and is 100% medically disabled from the military - if he were to waive his benefits and attempt to return to work (which I'm not sure he could physically endure) we would lose all of our insurance, which we cannot afford to happen with difficult child and easy child, too. A few months ago, one of his doctors ordered him to go for a psychiatric evaluation and I was 'psyched', because I think he may be a bit depressed over being home all the time with nothing much to do other than the usual laundry and yard work. However, he completely denies that and didn't take too much stock in what the psychiatrist said, although I was unable to go to the appointment with him, am not even sure what was said. I think it was unfortunate to have sort of squandered that opportunity, if you know what I mean. I was hoping that he would open up with someone impartial. I know that husband would probably never take an antidepressant - particularly if I suggested it. He is going to take some classes this fall at a local university, so I think that may help him - at least he will be out and about and have something constructive to do everyday that will have him working toward something larger. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
