Relationship ending

  • My partner of 23 years has decided he can not stay with me because he is suffering from severe depression. I too suffer and I'm currently not doing to good. I feel like my life is falling apart and I don't want to be here any more

Re: Relationship ending

Hey @Lostandalone1, thank you for sharing your experiences with the community!

 

It takes real courage to reach out to your peers and ask for support here on the Forums. You are demonstrating your resilience by being vulnerable and sharing your story. 

 

Sorry to hear that your partner wants to leave your relationship, and it sounds like you are not doing too well at the moment either. There is a lot of support out there for both your mental health and relationship, if you feel it would be beneficial to talk with someone about it. I will pop a few numbers here in case you want to check them out.

SANE also has the Guided Recovery program where you can get 15 weeks of 1:1 support with a Peer Support Worker or Counsellor. This is usually only available in certain postcodes, however access is being extended to our Forums community. We understand this isn't always suitable for people so you can check out the Guided Service here - Welcome to SANE’s Guided Recovery and decide if you want to pursue it.

 

Whenever you are ready, you can chat to SANE’s mental health support workers who can assist with a referral, simply call 1800 187 263 or chat on the webchat at sane.org and let them know that you were referred from forums. They can help you with questions and check things like whether you have enrolled before or not. They're available 10am – 8pm Mon-Fri.

 

I encourage you to continue to connect with your peers here on the Forums and I believe they will have some insights to share!

 

Take care
