[quote=Anonymous]Pp here of the very long post, so glad it was helpful op. Sending you strength through this. It can be incredibly difficult living with someone who is depressed, even when being as empathic as possible you feel like you want to shake them. Take steps each day and don’t be afraid to keep asking and checking in. You will not give him thoughts by asking - keep asking. Hey, have you had any thoughts of hurting yourself today? Be direct. I still ask my husband 8 years later straight out if he’s having a rough time. Just did it a couple weeks ago when quarantine was wearing on him and I could see his depression creeping in a little. Because I know his brain can take him there sometimes when he’s feeling low, i make it a point to give him the opportunity to tell me without having to come to me. We still have a safety plan all these years later. That being said our daily lives are wonderful and that tough year feels so long ago. So anyway, I hope this is slightly hopeful and also realistic.
