Thanks for the messages over the past few days. Yes I've been off-line for 10 days trying to resolve the sticky issue (see earlier blog entry of that name).
My partners cyclical depression reached an all time low recently leading to a reluctant but necessary demand from me. "Get some treatment or speak to someone, NOW"
To cut a very long and emotional story short - the answer was no. "Depression is part of who I am and you should be able to cope with that." Believe me I have tried, 6.5 years and an increasingly deep cycle just became too much for me to manage (for which I'm already feeling guilty).
As a result, we have a parting of the ways with all the usual pain that brings. I'm feeling that I should have been able to cope with the situation but know that it was becoming intollerable.
And to cap it all more rain just to make me feel more down. Things will improve I know but at the moment it doesn't feel like it.
