Thanks, Crypts, for taking an interest in my situation.

Yes, it is often easier to have clarity looking at another's predicament, than a at out our own.

For now, I will continue caring for my bf at home.

Today was a pretty good day. We both enjoyed the dinner I put together. (I picked up a rotisserie chicken.) I had a glass of white wine with my dinner. I got some messes straightened out. I feel pretty good right now.

Waking up with morning depression is hard. This was a problem I had long before I met my guy.

I'm getting sleepy now from my evening meds. Will go to bed soon. In the morning I will get more done. By just maintaining a certain level of effort, I think I can make my situation manageable.
