My husbands severely depressed and I don’t know what to do.

[SippeeCup]

He spent most of yesterday crying in bed and today he won’t get up or talk to me.

Hes changed jobs recently which he hates, he’s drinking every night. He’s so stressed about money all the time. We have 2 young children.

He’s a type 1 diabetic and doesn’t look after himself. He doesn’t eat. He doesn’t clean his teeth anymore.

He won’t speak to anyone so I’m going to try and go above his head and make a gp appointment for him.

Im just so sad. I love him so much and he’s usually the life and soul of everything but now he won’t even look at us. I’m so worried about him.

He won’t do any of that. Honestly I think our marriage might be over.

You can only help so much op before you are burnt out yourself. If it is too much for you and he refuses all help, you must think about you and the children more.

You cannot make him take the help.

Google your local Andys Man Club and see if he will go to a meeting. Men dont talk thats half the issue. xx

Then call 111 and tell them he is having a mental health crisis and you are seriously worried you will wake up next to his dead body. He’s too far gone to ask for care himself. This is the mental health equivalent of someone collapsing unconscious and you’d dial 999 for an ambulance. The crisis team may section him and get him inpatient for awhile. You need to act.
