He's been out of work for three months, and I just discovered his job search has been sporadic at best. Granted, he's getting unemployment, but COBRA for the three of us is as much as the house payment, and when you add in all the other bills, and the fact that my student loans are now in repayment mode...
Things started bubbling up on Friday, when we were supposed to go to a Good Friday service at church. I couldn't get him to stop watching the Tech segments of the local news, which he tapes and watches at a later time. He was on #8 or so when I started yelling. I hate being late for things, and his inability to get moving ticked me off. We left the house about the time the service was to start, and I unloaded. This weekend, same thing. No motivation, hides in the man cave, doesn't feel well...and I forced him to call his doctor. He has an appointment on Thursday, but says I can't go with him. He's done a pretty good job of hiding his symptoms till now.
I think he's depressed, and that's affecting his physical health as well. He was previously diagnosis'd unipolar depressive during his divorce from the boys' mother. He's mentioned headaches, rapid heartbeat, stomach pains, body aches...so he also made an appointment for a complete physical, again, after I fussed at him.
Any other things I should look for, or tell the doctor? I'm going whether he wants me to or not.
