My DH has suffered from depression for as long as I can remember. He has a history of addiction to ssri's so medication is out of the question. Our dc was born at the beginning of the year and this has really triggered his depression, due to my lack of sex drive from pure exhaustion he feels rejected and unloved. Has a very complicated history with his parents and no other real family around other than an aunt who helps and offers advice when he's struggling. His aunt has now been diagnosed with a terminal illness very suddenly and pushed DH over the edge. He's extremely tearful, on edge constantly feels worthless unloved rejected and alone. After a few drinks very quickly became suicidal. I sat with him all night and he eventually fell asleep. Today I really need to find a way to help him. Any advice would be massively appreciated he's reluctant to seek help but said he is prepared to attend if only to prove to me there's nothing that will help. Don't really know what I'm asking just needed somewhere to vent
