Oh Patrick! James is sooo correct. As a child
I experienced several traumatic events (some that
went on for years). I buried all these things deep
while growing up and anticipated a promising future
(as a veterinarian). Then by my last year in high
school, I began what has now become almost 30 years
(I'm 45) of failing at school, relationships, etc.; and
alcoholism and self medicating (to help forget?),
self-hating, etc etc, you name it.Two years ago I began seeing a great shrink.
I was diagnosed with ADD and finally finished school
with the help of medication. Yet it was only 6 months
ago that I finally told him about some underlying
depression, for which I am taking Prozac. The kicker
is that I STILL am not at the place where I'm ready to
talk about this stuff. But he's not fooled - each
session now I notice that he keeps asking me what else
is on my mind. So it's just a matter of time.Sorry this is so long but I am positive that if I
had faced this way back, I would be much happier
now. I pray for your wife and you - don't give up
on her! Like the Queen song: both of you will be
Champions of the World!
