I could think of no better way to continue this 8th season of SelfWork than to feature your questions and comments! Whether you communicate through email or voicemail or through my website contact form, YOU are the lifeblood of SelfWork. Yes, it\u2019s true I often use what my own clients either have gone through or are going through as my \u201cinspiration\u201d for these episodes. Yet hearing from you means so much. It\u2019s like turning up the lights in an auditorium so the person speaking can see the audience \u2013 it helps me see you. And your three topics for today are compatibility vs commitment, facing constant anger from your partner, and feeling abandoned by friends. So thank you!

All of these listeners are dealing with situations that have been ongoing for months if not years \u2013 so even though they don\u2019t necessarily say \u201cI\u2019m depressed,\u201d yet these kinds of relationship problems that drag on and on can certainly be a set-up\xa0 for symptoms of depression, like hopelessness or helplessness.\xa0 All three are about boundaries \u2013 the difficulty of setting them, of maintaining them, and\xa0 when you get hurt by or don't understand them.
