DH runs own business but temporarily closed due to lockdown. It is the third time within a year and he is clearly depressed. At previous lockdown, we could go for a walk everyday and he looked fine but at this time we cannot because DCs are staying at home. Every night he struggles to fall asleep. He has own bed room and spends most of day on his bed by watching the same YouTube video.
A couple of days ago, he found that the daily case was slightly declined and happily talked that there’s possibility that the lockdown would be eased after the half term but then, the case sharply increased. Since then he stopped eating and rejects to see anyone. I stepped into his bed room but he hid himself under the duvet and shouted not to come otherwise he seriously becomes ill. Today, I heard him vomiting many times through the wall and worried so much. I suggested to see a mental health specialist but he hates the idea.
Do you think if it is the time to call the urgent mental health support or is it for more serious cases? Do you think how long I should let him alone?
I just sent a text to him that I am here if he needs support. I feel awful...
