Be cool my friend,I have been antidepressants for over a year and this episode comes along, I deal w/HA a lot better but still seem to be short tempered especially in the AM.
Your Fiancee is very lucky to have someone like you who cares so much,but the reality is this, if you think this is eating you alive,{which I have no doubt it is!}You can still not imagine as you have heard over and over the toll it takes on the individual. not just the pain , but You feel like your letting others down too. Plus this is an illness. You just do not function properly! Yestersay was my 15 wedding aniversary! I celebrated with 4 clusters when I got home from work and to cap it off Today I went and got more 02. HAPPY ANIVERSARY SWEETHEART! But She is very understanding considering the conditions.This is also my 20th aniversary of clusters.Sound a little bitter don't I? Just be there when She needs You and let her vent when she needs to!
Sounds like you really love her so remember, for better and for worse ! Hang in there, also pick up the slack w/ her son! He probably needs the companionship, and it means more to her than you could imagine! {I'm sure You already do that, cause your message speaks for itself!}
God Bless you, Fiancee,and Son.
