My wife and I cope in very different ways. She reaches out and I pull inward. Most of the time this has been ok because we are rarely very depressed at once. Lately tho, we both fall at the same time. She grasps for physical proximity for support. I just want to run and hide by myself. How can we both get what we need when we are both so desperately needing opposite things? It drains me like no tomorrow to have to be around someone when I'm depressed. I just want to be by myself. She's getting frustrated and mad at me for not supporting her. I'm getting equally frustrated and mad about not being able to get space... how do we compromise successfully? We try giving the other a certain amount of time to either be together or alone, But it never seems like it's enough. Any ideas?
