You probably live in the States, I live in Canada. Our health systems are different. However AA has a branch called, Al-Anon which has a group for adult children of alcoholic parents. I'm sure you can find it on the internet, but I strongly advise calling - speaking hearing someones voice is better, and you'll reach someone locally. Network too making friends, make an appointment just like it was a "work commitment" to do something fun, perhaps volunteer an hour (library?) SMILE!!!!
Contact a local hospital to inquire about "positive support groups for depression."You had said that you had stopped keeping a journal 8 years ago, and your depression started 5 years ago. Even though you are married you still need to look after yourself first.
If you would like to correspond with me, I would enjoy it. I'm pretty much "housebound" and would like writing back and forth with an adult.

Hope to hear from you!
