Why can't you relax at home alone when you want to while your wife goes out and socializes? Or maybe you could go with her for an hour then go home before she does.

I'm introverted also and I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with that. Having plenty of alone time has never made me depressed, when I did experience depression there were other issues. And if I don't get enough alone wind down time I get extra exhausted.

Are you being told that something is wrong with you? Are you putting yourself down for being introverted?

What has helped you the most when you have experienced depression in the past?
