Mental Health Crisis

[tmommy22]

Hi all

I've really just come on here to reach out. I feel so lonely. I've been saying to my partner for weeks and months I feel exhausted, suidical and just generally really low and depressed.

He doesn't acknowledge me. I've begged him to help me and his response is he's struggling because I'm not showing him love or any interest in him.

I can barely get my head off the pillow never mind be affectionate and love him. I dont know what to do, I spent all night on the phone to samaritans but I feel so low. I've called into work sick, I asked him to just spend time with me today, he said he's got an activity at work that he can't miss. I'm crying out for help and get nothing.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, in all honesty it doesn’t seem like he cares or grasps the extent of your mental health which must be devastating for you, is private counselling a option for you to get yourself into a safe place or a close friend or family member that you trust with this information that would be a good support system?,

I found having people who cared and understood a huge help also I’d possibly ask to see a dr who can find a medication if that’s something you would be willing to try and you are doing absolutely amazing and you are reaching out for help but the unfortunate reality is you can’t make him care and if I was you I’d be asking myself if that’s something I’d really want.

im going through a bit of a marriage crisis and I’m considering the option of leaving now it’s scary as it’s all I’ve known for 10 years but I need to put myself first and I think you need to aswell

Go and see you gp (or ask for a phone consultation if you cant get out).

You bf doesn't sound like a partner at all. In fact I would hazard a guess and say that you'll probably start to feel better once you get rid of him. He's so cold.

I understand your disappointment in your partner, but it sounds to me like the help you need isn't something he can provide.
I would strongly encourage you to see your GP and start receiving some professional help. Stop relying on your partner for your mental health. He's unwilling/unable to provide it.
