I’ve always been really strong, confident, independent. Been supporting my husband thru his own issues, depression, latterly self-harm for the past decade or so. He’s now left me, telling me he’s in a much better place without me (he came to me with his problems but that’s a different story) and from him leaving, I have hit lows I never knew you could. I am depressed and anxious, have felt as though I wanted to harm myself at times. I’ve accessed the correct support but can’t believe I’ve been left like this when all I’ve wanted is to support him.
my counsellor suggested tonight that I’ve forgotten about myself whilst trying to care for him
anyone else found themselves in a similar position?
