I'll leave out the gory details, but the short version is as follows:
Just before Christmas, Kaiti went into a serious depression and was having anxiety attacks at every turn. It got bad enough that she was sleeping with me (Todd was sleeping in her bed) for about 2 weeks. Everything was a reason to cry. She had days that she didn't eat, most of the time she was sleeping in 20 minute intervals, so pretty much she was a mess. It was getting to the point where I thought we might have to hospitalize her.
She's since been to see her doctor and been put on light therapy and Prozac. It seems to be helping immensely. Like, she's a completely different person. It's been an incredible transformation.
Needless to say, it was a crappy holiday season, a crappy December, and I'm looking forward to much better 2010.
