Or perhaps this is his way of trying to take care of you, to give you room? I don't know, just trying to throw a positive light on it...

Oh, the fatigue. It's so awful. And if your husband, like mine, hasn't suffered from it, he doesn't understand.

Doesn't sound to me like your life has stopped at all, Willow. Maybe you still do too much...

This must be difficult. I haven't been in a similar situation. But if he is a comfort, then it seems the good outweighs the bad, and that she is doing what most folks do, which is trying to find a concrete thing to blame, rather than the illness (depression) itself.
