Please don't be sorry, most of us have posted when in a very difficult moment.
I hope you will continue to post here and that all the good people on TP can help make your situation more bearable.

No need for embarrassment Dave, at some time or another we have all been in deepest despair. We are all dealing with a dreadful disease but with each other we can and will get through. Good to see you back.

Please don't be sorry or embarrassed Dave, we are all just pleased to see you back. Can you maybe arrange for some respite care for your wife, you really sound as though you deserve a break. Take care of yourself x
Good to see you posting Dave
Nothing wrong with "letting it all out" on here, in fact it has saved me in the past. The amazing support has kept me going, hope it keeps you going too

Glad to see you're OK Dave, and there's no need to feel anything, other than the huge hug we're all giving you.
Goodness, don't be sorry, or embarrassed! We're all just delighted to 'see' you again .
If you're still feeling very low, and want to share, then please do - don't be afraid to offload again if you need to, and if it helps. We all know how it feels to be in despair.
However, if you'd rather not, and would rather just move on - well, that's fine too!
More big hugs coming your way, I'm afraid.

Oh Dave he's so cute! But even more work for you initially I'm afraid!
I haven't followed all your posts and I don't post often, and maybe someone else has already suggested/asked this question, but are you on anti-depressants?
I really really felt like you a few months back and desperately fought against anti depressants because I felt I was a failure because I couldn't cope and only 'weak' people went on depressants, but then someone explained that sometimes stress just stops the body producing serotonin which the brain needs to be able to cope with the stress, so it's a vicious circle and so after much wrangling with myself and much urging by everyone else I started to take them.
The first ones I tried were awful, they just didn't suit me at all & I thought b****er this, I'm worse than ever, but i got them changed and I have to say they've made a real difference!
Ok the situation is the same, that won't change, but I feel much more in control now and much more able to just function.
I know pills are not always the answer, but if they get you over the "hump" and enable you to see through the mire and then you can see more of a way forward.
And I agree totally with everyone else that you must try to get some respite/ help for yourself!
Walking the puppy will also be a huge mood lifter!
Take care x

Dogs are a joy Dave and an excellent reason to get out and have some fresh air to blow those cobwebs away. Hopefully Zeus will lighten your wife's days too. Nothing nicer than a cuddle with a little bundle of fluff.
Wishing you better days ahead,
Jay
