More texting today - from him - totally benign. He texted yesterday , and again benign. Here is my muddle (Help me BLue Car)
I feel as though this more frequent, upbeat contacting signals that he is probably coming out of a cycle. That scares me, because in the cycle I at least knew where to find him (on the couch under a blanket)
So I am afraid that hope rises - but what hope? He is not in therapy - I am probably reading too much into benign texts, to begin with. If I love him, I need to take him everyday at face value, which means give benign, friendly responses. What I want to do is take his emotional temperature, and say "hey, I think you are coming out of the depression you deny , blah blah"
Really I need to just keep on with my life - treat him like a friend who checks in once in a while.
Does anyone understand what I mean here.
Its late and I am muddled
