Right first off, I'm not well myself. Been on anti depressants for 10 years and been chucked out of the MH services for using everything they have to offer.
However, this isn't about me. My partner is really struggling. Up until now he has always supported me and helped me through the bad times, and I of course want to do the same for him. He's been to see the GP twice and is now just starting his second lot of anti depressants today. He's currently having a sleep as they've made him drowsy.
He's been very hard for me to deal with at times, getting upset, crying, talking about having suicidal thoughts, not sleeping or eating well, finding it hard to do much at all really. I have spent endless hours this weekend talking to him and helping him to see things from a different perspective and trying to remind him he is loved and supported and cared about. However it's very hard for the both of us and we're both close to breaking point at times.
I don't know what I want really. No one can take it away or do anything really. Maybe some support or something, whatever you can give to keep us fighting...anyone who's been through this and has any ideas about how I can support him better would be great. Just thanks for reading.
