I absolutely do not understand a spouse heaping guilt and other crap upon the head of a depressed spouse!
Does it go across gender lines? Are females as likely to do it as males? Any sense of an underlying theme to the guilt trips? Is it a lack of understanding depression?
It seems nasty and cruel to me.

> I've always wanted to just take off when in a manic phase but right now, when in the midst of a depressive one, I want to just leave and walk and not stop until I hit Canada. The only physical problem I have is near-sightedness. I've been ready to go into the hospital this last week for the first time since I can remember. Just got a horrible guilt trip from hubby. I don't even care. I just need to be left alone for awhile so I can get myself together...
