Yes, sleep can exacerbate illnesses, yet, if he's unable to get along with you, behavior, which i presume since you're posting here, then there's something going on inside of him.
Sorry you're both struggling.  |
Thank you for your reply. We get along in that there is absolutely no fussing, hostility, and so forth...he's just growing distant. One month ago things were lovely...and then the quick spiral as has happened before. He deteriorates and becomes a shell of who he was.
He is seeing a therapist, yes. Fifty minutes a week is just not enough, though. He actually wishes he could seek in-patient care but says he can't due to work and of course the stigma. We are both well aware that he has issues and demons, as he sometimes calls them, to deal with. I certainly hope his sessions help him do that.
Since I haven't experienced depression, can anyone who has offer advice as to what I can do or shouldn't do going down this long road?
