Hi guys,

I've been relatively good for just over 2 years. I recently came off abilify, which has sent me spiralling downward. I'm experiencing a moderate depressive episode that could be a precursor to something worse, but I'm trying to stay positive. I have an appointment with my pdoc next week when we'll discuss some solutions.

In the mean time, my sudden mood change is having a major affect on my fiance. She's never seen me in a slump before, so she's overwhelmed and not sure what to do. And in some ways, taking it personally.

So my question is, what can I do to make this time easier for her? I'm quite open and try to communicate with her, despite feeling some shame for what's happening. How can I put her at ease? Do you guys have any suggestions?
