I had therapy yesterday.  We spoke about different types of mental clarity.  I was really scared that my decisions are clouded by either manic or depressive states.  My therapist gave me some clues and insights.

Depressive clarity: 

·       Pessamistic.

She also gave me some “homework”to do. Make a list of why I got married to my wife.

What would it look like if we separated?

Why am I still married to her?

What do I want to do moving forward and what does that look like?

I still have a lot of things to think about. It seems almost every 1 question answered, 2  3 more pops up.
