Not having much control this weekend. Not wanting to do anything else, the erge to lay down and DD is so strong. My husband wanted to go to a coffee shop and listen to a live music performer but my social anxiety kicked in and I told him to go without me. After he left I got in bed around 7 and daydreamed til he got home at 10:30pm. Then tried to go to sleep, back awake DDing around 5am til 9:30.  

I did make it to the grocery store. Now back fighting the erge to DD.

He asked me why I seem cold sometimes. I don't know how to explain it. He would not understand. I keep just saying I'm depressed, his mother went through depression so he is sympathetic to that.

That's right I forgot.  I do think you probably have something differently, even though the symptoms are the same.  It must be a hormonal issue, or side effect of new medicine you are on?  In this case I would tell him, but just say you sort of zone out or something.  I forget what the content of your DD's are, but I wouldn't mention romantic ones.  I guess that's what I was thinking of when I made my last suggestion, as mine are.

We've been married for 16yrs. I've only been dealing with MD since April so I imagine I do seem different.

I understand not telling him.  My advice is to let him think you are depressed, but really make an effort to spend more quality time with him, let him know how much you appreciate his putting up with your "absences."   You might even say you just sort of space out sometimes, but are going to make an effort to be more plugged in to the marriage.  How long have you been married?  I think telling him in a vague sort of way won't really sound much more than bored & lazy; to tell him how serious it is will entail telling him what you dream about.  I wouldn't do that.  Keep us posted.

Hmm well try dropping small hints, but not big ones that would give it away. Maybe small hints like Oh sorry I spaced out for a second or Oh sorry I got distracted  might make it a little easier telling him without telling him in a way.

no no, I can't tell him. He would see it as me not wanting him or the life we have. He would not understand that I can't control it.
