suicide help: my partner is suicidal and wont get help. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

my partner is suicidal and wont get help.

I struggle with crohns disease, and live iwth day to day dysphoria. I made him go to the drs and they put him on meds which did nothing but make him sleep. He has had his medication changed but there is no improvement.
We both work, but live below the breadline. we cant afford to put heating on etc so things arent great. We are engaged but i dont know who this man is anymore, and bare to start planning the wedding. We dont know if i can have children so we cant plan that.
Life seems so bleak, and i try to be positive, but every time he tells me he wants to kill himself, a piece of me dies and i don tknow what to do. i thought it was me, but apparently it isnt.
Im coping with huge amounts of alcohol consumption, which does not help my crohns. I cant seem to be able to cope any other way. He wont go for counselling, and tells me if i make him it will make it worse.
please help. part of me wants to run from this man i do not know any more, andmost of my wants to help him but i cant last much more

Don’t give up! I’ve never been in a situation like that before. I can’t say that I know what you are going through, but I believe God knows everything your going through. This life is tough but God will help you through whether that means you have a tough time or an easy time. God takes care of us everyday and life is still a gift. I suggest getting help for your partner. Usually, not to be mean, if someone is having depression or anxiety or anything, the last thing they want is help but it might be what they need. I don’t know you but I’ll pray for you.
