> I'm not offended by your comment at all. I think it's sweet. You are responsible for each other now in many ways.
>Thanks thats a nice way of looking at it and I agree with you.
>It balances things out.
It certainly does!
> Have you talked to your new wife about this? Does she understand the pitfalls of depression?
>Sure we talk and she understands. She has issues of her own to deal with too.

>Interesting. Ill have to talk to my pdoc about this. . . :)

>Absolutely!!!
So anyway after I wrote that and later as the endorphins kicked in I began to feel better. :) The next day I got some bad news which in a way lit a fire under my ass to start working on some other options and things. So I pulled out of it. For now. I also started taking Wellbutrin again which I had stopped for awhile and I was fine but now I need the extra energy it gives me.
Thanks and ttyl!
