It's as gloomy as gloomy can be here in my part of Czech Republic.

My husband is a real night owl and always has been. I woke up at around 4:45 am to see him finally going to bed. I didn't let on that I was awake, but watched him do something very strange. It took him almost 10 minutes to put on his pajama top. He did so slowly, then took it off. Then again the same. Then again the same. I wondered if he might have done so as some part of a ritual. I asked him about it at breakfast and he said he didn't want to wake me up, so did so for that reason. Maybe he put it on backwards twice? Not sure. In any case, I'm certain he's on the OCD spectrum because of many other behaviors. His sister agrees with me. And he's depressed and has ADD. I've been pressing him to go to a psychiatrist, but he won't. General practitioners in Czech Republic are not permitted to prescribe psych meds. He already tried to get them to.

Your husband sounds like mine. David was diagnosed long ago with OCD, ADHD - and I'm sure he suffers some degree of depression, which appears as irritability. He remembers having symptoms as young as 13, then they really increased during his time in Vietnam (war). He flatly refuses medication, which I believe is terribly unfortunate.
