I am posting this here again for the traffic.
Dh has ptsd and in the last year he did not feel well and was in fact afraid that he would think of suicide if it continued like this.
A month ago we were watching a movie about a man who seemed to struggle and dh said he identified with him and that the movie explained why he sometimes felt so low but he could not discuss it with me.
He has also a lot of trouble eating, currently a lot of trouble sleeping.
He promised me he would never hurt himself. He promised me he would reach out for help if it ever becomes that bad again.
Dh says he he currently doing well. He says I must not worry.
He is not in a crisis and I am not in a crisis.
Now I think it would be good if I could talk to an expert but dh does not want me to talk to his therapist. I just want a professional to tell me I should stop worrying about this and go on with my life.
I wonder if it is okay to phone a mental health line and ask them that kind of questions or is it daft?
I know they have limited resources but do not know who else to turn to.
I sometimes cry over minor issues and last time I talked about this with a relative I cried.
Is it okay to call them? Would it be okay to cry?
