In reply to Breakthrough depression, any advice?, posted by Racer on April 16, 2005, at 15:21:39
Hi Racer,
I ask myself, is my depression exogenous, meaning coming from outside of myself (how I handle external stressors) or endogenous (my chemistry and genetics)? I think that medication and therapy can certainly help give us the support that we need in order to take better care of ourselves and be assertive where appropriate. Sounds like you need to blow a little steam off in a safe place and come to a decision as to how the car management can be more equitable. This sounds more preferable than increasing/changing meds to be able to tolerate your current situation. I fully understand how you got there and why. Been there and find myself revisiting similar situations quite frequently. I hope you find some solace in knowing that other women on this board have similar issues in their relationships to their significant other and question whether it is a depressive rebound or tired and fearful of rehashing the same old problems.
