I asked on the mental health board if there was a thread for partners of those with MH issues and there doesn't seem to be. A few people suggested I started one on the relationship board.
My dh has depression, anxiety, OCD and addiction issues. Our world was pretty standard up until 6 months ago when an incident occurred and all this shit came tumbling out. He's been burying SO much stuff but it has to be dealt with now. He is having counseling and taking various medication and I can see that he is trying to get well.
I am trying to support him but we also have 3 primary aged DC and there are days when, if I'm honest, I just want to leave. I know that's not an 'acceptable' thing to say. Only a couple of people irl know he has any problems at all and really what can they do? It's me who is doing everything. I've done the majority of the childcare historically but now I feel like I'm doing all of it! I never know what mood he'll be in. We can't go to new places because of his anxiety and OCD. He sometimes acknowledges that all of this is hard on me and I do know that he's having a really hard time too but I just wanted to have somewhere to say that on some days I've had enough and not be judged.
