Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Screwing things up good today. My wife had suggested we arrange to have a local kid do our driveway because snow was predicted. I waited to save money, he could not do it at the last minute, his friend said he would then couldn't, wife was made, I spent 40 minutes doing a fraction, then could not get car out in the morning and hopefully did not blow transmission. Stuck with car in the middle of the driveway waiting for road assistance. Lessons.
1. Change Not Blame I will work hard to improve and working on a spreadsheet. It's tough to confront problems but I will work on it.
2. Listen to the message not the tone. Wives can say things in a sometimes grating and irritated fashion, making men angry. Don't ignore them but she is frequently right. Disregard the tone, listen to the message.
3. Not best case scenarios but anticipate problems Here I hope everything would fall together nicely. Effectiveness is anticipating and confronting problems.
4. Not worrying Will I owe 2,000 for a new trans, did I damage my car. Let's not spend time on eventualities until they happen. Deal with what I can control.

I chuckle at #2 - My husband either says he can't hear me or seems grumpy. I try to listen to his message. It's not easy. I think I am being reasonable and he differs. LOL!
