Hi Helen,
Your best bet is to get back in touch with the MH Services yourself, because re-doing something you've already done (therapy wise) may be more of a help to you now than it was back then, especially as you're supporting Liam aswell as supporting yourself.
Has Liam been referred to the services yet?
Secondly, you need to sort your medication out. Personally, i think a month is too long to see your GP again after cutting down on the meds you're currently on. You need to be monitored on a regular basis when coming off medication that you've been on for a long period of time, and i think it's unwise for you to go through this transition period without the support of your GP/without you being under supervision.
Thirdly - you can't cope with Liam on your own. He NEEDS that extra support outside of your relationship. As you have problems of your own, it simply isn't possible for you to do this unsupported. As you know, at the beginning of any illness it is hell for not only the person suffering but for those around them, and you really need outside support to get through this until the AD's kick in for him.
That's all you really can do..but you both need to help yourselves otherwise you will both continue to go around in circles and neither of you knowing which way to turn.
