{{Gud}} Be upfront with the doctor. Here's hoping that something good comes out of it for you and your wife.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Gud, I know you didn't ask for advice, so feel free to skip.
But IMO, counseling might not be a bad thing for you right now. You're in (as you've described here) a difficult situation. A good therapist can help you find ways to cope.
That's not to say I think you have a depression problem. Just that therapy can be useful even when depression isn't the problem.

Well, making another appointment for a another doctor to treat a depression problem that I don't think I have. I hate, hate, hate this.
You're stressed, you're not depressed.

Ann, that's a ferret.
And David says it more concisely than I could.

He is good at that, even if he wants to hold me to my taglines. Gud, your family will be in my thoughts today.

Oh, Gud. You poor bear. Hang in there.

{{{Gud}}} I'm so sorry. But, maybe it can be helpful...a place to be able to talk about how tough things are at home. I agree with David, though; you're stressed, not depressed. I'm so sorry you're going through all of this.
ION, I just got trained for my short-term weekend job. It's gonna be a lot, but I could really use the money, so it's a bit of a gift.

I am back from my doctor's appointment and I am eating junk food to reward myself.
