My husband and I just moved permanently to our home in Northern Ecuador. He suffers from depression and while change is a wonderful positive thing for me, for him it's a trillion times more difficult.

Yesterday was good. Quito and errands. Fun. Today for him, the couch.

Poor guy doesn't enjoy alcohol either.

Depression is major suckage.

Hang in there Josh.
