My wife also struggles with depression and anxiety issues at times. It's hard for someone that doesn't have the issue to understand what it feels like. It's very draining on someone. Hats off to you for being able to take the focus off the condition and place it on doing something like taking care of animals. Keeping the mind focused on daily duties does help some. It's a daily struggle and it sounds like you are mastering it! :)

Believe me, my husband doesn't understand and that's a whole battle in itself. It's hard to even explain to someone. It takes a toll on the marriage as well. But we are both in it together and I truly believe we both do our best to help each other. Marriage is HARD. Haha.
I do have to remind myself tho, it is okay to take a day off and have the other half do some work too. ;)
