I have been reading the goings-on here for the past year, and this is my first time posting. I am the spouse of a depressed non-poster. Hmm...that's quite a distinction! Hello, my name is Janice and I am the spouse of a depressed non-poster....Hi Janice...anyway, I came here because of my desperate need to be proactive and helpful. It seems to me that the people who will get the most out of this board are the people who take the initiative to be here. My husband has never read any posting here unless I've printed it out and taped it to his pillow. Some people are just that way...they only want to deal with their own stuff..One thing that I've learned through all this is that we can't force people to be the way we'd like them to be...more like US. I would love it if my husband were more research oriented regarding his depression but he's not...and I am. Spouses feel the effects of depression very strongly and if they are motivated to do so, they will easily find resources on the internet.
