My depression is affecting my marriage. I've been depressed for 15 months now and been unmotivated to do just about anything. Housework included.
I'm working again which is good, at least the bills are getting paid again. But otherwise life is not good.
I take Modafinil to wake up and take Latuda and go to sleep. In between it's a struggle to stay 'normal' and remain productive.
My wife is frustrated with me, that I do so little apparently. She makes dinner for me but I'm otherwise self sufficient. I clean what I can but it's never enough or it's not done the right way, or done too late.
I'm happy with the fact that I'm showering every day, going to work, managing my meds, paying the mortgage and bills, taking care of the cat, visiting our disabled relative, etc. But it seems it's not enough.
On a slightly better topic, my astronomy is going well. Taking lots of photos, organizing the older ones I took, participating in the community by sharing my photos and experience. In getting lots of likes and feedback. So maybe I'll be able to stick with it this time.
My older son is coming to visit for the holidays, he arrives soon so that'll be nice.
