My partner suffers from depression but wont get help, he blames me everything and left me today.

I didn't see it coming and I'm shocked and hurt, he seems so cold and distant,I feel like my whole world has been turned upside down, this is all new to me & I am struggling and dont know what to do.

My partner left me.

Hi Mel,

I can imagine how difficult and how much of a shock this must have been for you. Sometimes I think we forget about the incredibly courageous, and challenging roles our partners and carers play.

I appreciate you sharing this with us, and we're hear to support you in whatever way we can.

Is there a friend or family member that you could chat with, or have come around to tend to you for a little while?

Your partner may just need some space, especially if he's not dealing with his depression very well. Just take each moment one at a time, and keep posting as often as you need. Dont hesitate to contact the Beyondblue call line if you need to talk. I imagine the first few nights will be tough, so if you cant have someone over, use the BB services as much as you wish.

A big virtual hug.

AGrace
