[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 477623, member: 3444"] husband is on a downward spiral today. The glass is half empty and he's pouring it out on the ground as he complains that he doesn't have anything! :tearinghair: Saturday and Sunday he was bouncing off the walls with energy. Today he's doing the litany of all the things that are wrong with his life. I just cannot engage him when he gets like this because, like the drowning person, he will just try to pull me under with him in his quagmire. Ugh. I try offering some advice, like just taking things one day at a time. Or (wow, advanced concept here) a medication tweak. But it falls on deaf ears and all he seems interested in is complaining and seeking out more reasons to be miserable. It's almost a self-fulfilling exercise. Sigh. Tomorrow is another day. The boys see the psychiatrist on Friday and I'm going in with my own list of husband-related questions. [/QUOTE]
