my husband seems to be spiraling downwards again [View all]

he's frustrated at his job because he's getting no hours (he moves furniture), which is putting a lot of stress on me trying to figure out how to keep us afloat. he and a friend of his had a falling out and it looks like his band is breaking up.

he's been talking about how he doesn't even want to be looked at right now, which is the number one warning sign for me.

he's been doing not much else but playing video games for a week, although we did get our place cleaned up yesterday, which has greatly improved my mood. he's so prone to situational depression but he won't acknowledge it.

now it's time to just be patient and try to ride it out
