"I work in high tech and it is the same here - at least at the first 2-3 levels in the organization - but when we have to go to customers more often the dress goes up too.

Will replied to Jason Sperling's discussion Wife has Clinical Depression"Karen has me right: I absolutely was not telling him to leave his wife! No! She needs him, he's committed to her, and he loves her!
I was honoring him for keeping going while feeling "like a single parent of two daughters and a wife.""
Pete Noy replied to Jason Sperling's discussion Wife has Clinical Depression"Can we at least wait for a few days before we automatically start insulting him "He's a big girl..."."
"Listen to this, my fiancee has hypo, which means when the meds are off, she has bad depression. This led to some huge fights with us because I had no clue how to deal with it before she was diagnosed. One of the reasons I knew I wanted to marry her…"
Sasha replied to Jason Sperling's discussion Wife has Clinical Depression"Jason,
Remember to take time for yourself too. As a caretaker, we often devote all our energy to those we are caring for. I do not know the age of your children but if you can find a baby sitter for even a couple hours a week and take that time for…"
Will replied to Jason Sperling's discussion Wife has Clinical Depression"I feel for you too. My wife has been blue but not all the way to depressed. *I* have been depressed (before marriage). I know how I got out of it; and how I survived it.
Meanwhile, maybe single parent of everyone is the way to go, as an act of love."
Sean replied to Jason Sperling's discussion Wife has Clinical Depression"You are going through this alone and it is very hard, but that's just the way it is. There is no secret, no trick involved in this. You do what is necessary, and keep going."
Jason Sperling replied to Jason Sperling's discussion Wife has Clinical Depression"Thanks everyone for your responses. She is on medications and they are helping somewhat, but not enough. Been down the thyroid road and that seems to be ok.
I'll remain strong and get her through this. Sometimes it just feels like I'm…"
Pete Noy replied to Jason Sperling's discussion Wife has Clinical Depression"Most importantly realize that this is not a character flaw but a medical condition. Some people may not understand and feel that the person is just not "sucking it up" so to speak. It has an organic cause and needs to be treated just like…"
Liam S. replied to Jason Sperling's discussion Wife has Clinical Depression"We're there now. She is currently pregnant, and so has gone off her anti-depressants.
It's not fun, and I don't have any good suggestions for you. But I empathize, and wish you all the best in this struggle."
Sean replied to Jason Sperling's discussion Wife has Clinical Depression"Been down that road, and it isn't fun.
We tried and we tried, but nothing worked. Eventually she went on the antidepressants."
Sasha replied to Jason Sperling's discussion Wife has Clinical Depression"Jason,
Sometimes clinical depression is a symptom of other ailments. In an earlier thread today we were discussing thyroid disease which is something I have. At onset, because of the hormonal imbalance, I was depressed / moody. My doctor even put…"

Chuck Knight replied to Chris Hamm's discussion Who Wears a Watch Anymore?"Looks like a standard Seagull movement, styled after a Valjoux.
Skeleton watches are my absolute favorites. They're more difficult to read, but so beautiful.
Nice choice."
Nathan DeParis posted a discussionWomen: The Infallible Baromoter
Jon Quincy Adams once said,“From all that I have read of history and government of human life and manners, I have drawn this conclusion, that the manners of women were the most infallible barometer to ascertain the degree of morality and virtue of a nation.”To get the thread rolling or spinning I would say he is right to a very high degree. What say yous guys.See More
