[quote=Anonymous]Hello, I am not sure if I am looking for advice or support. DH and I have been going through some truly tough times recently in our marriage, to the point we are considering separation. I have suspected DH of suffering from depression for a long time but he has never treated it. 
Yesterday he read me a journal entry (also from yesterday) where he detailed putting our children down for a nap and hanging himself. It went into more detail. I obviously fell apart after listening to this. He said he was feeling better by that point. I did have him call his therapist (he has only been in counseling for the last month) and she assessed that she didn’t feel he was in imminent danger at that point. He has a full appointment with her today. 
Where do I go from here? Has anyone had experience being married to someone like this?
This is actually the third time in our marriage that this has been brought up. I have tried to “talk him off the ledge” before but I feel like this issue is too big. It has also gotten more specific and I am terrified to come home and find him hanging. [/quote]
