Desperately unhappy - is it MH or relationship?

Long time lurker on the relationships board but I need advice and help please.

As I write this I'm sat on my bathroom floor in tears. I'm so lost and confused and I can't find a way out of this.

I've had a rough few years during which I've suffered my first experience of MH issues so I feel my judgement is so clouded and I can't trust myself.

In a long term relationship, due to be married but have postponed any planning given my current state of despair.

How do I know if I'm depressed or if it's my relationship that is making me unhappy? I am so lost I don't know what to do - I swing wildly from thinking I'm being silly and that this is a good relationship Vs me thinking how wrong my partner is for me and me wanting to leave and start over. No DCs.

I spend a lot of my time questioning my feelings and it's so painful for me and no doubt my partner.

I feel like a such a useless person that I can't get my head straight and get out of this cycle of thinking. It's affecting my whole life and it's not fair on my partner.

I almost feel the last 6 months have taken such a toll on us that I can't fix the relationship now.

Does anyone else suffer from anxiety about making big commitments or have experience of this type of turmoil in a relationship?

I don't even know what I'm asking or how to find my way in life, I'm fucking everything up and don't know how to fix it

It's sounds like you are drifting apart as you want more. It's sounds exactly like my situation! I want to talk about politics etc and emotions and he doesn't.
Can I ask if your sex life has suffered? I'm thinking we are going to split as it's not happening in the bedroom department.
We have DCs so feels harder to split
