Unless I'm in a mixed episode, mine is more like a feelingless state. Tough, and not as easy to breakdown. Right now he's outside sitting in the sun. He likely wishes I would join him, but I yearn for time to myself. I will go outside in a few minutes, because I know it is the right thing to do.

So sorry to hear that. It’s hard to be there for each other when you are both depressed no matter what type of depression it is. Nice of you to join him.
