Dear New Member~
I'd like to welcome you here to the Forum. If you were to look around you would find many who have been in similar circumstances and you may find how some have coped.
I'm saddened to read that your partner has been having a rough time for the the last year or year and a half. Very stressful, worrying and frustrating for you as there is no road-map on what to do.
Actually what has been done sounds very sensible, changing from an unpleasant job, going to the GP and psychologist. Plus taking antidepressants again.
I"m glad he has found another job, though he cannot admit his virtues and strengths. In fact it would seem to carry though to a pessimistic attitude to life (sounds like me in the past).
Unfortunatly resuming a particular medication does not mean it will always act in the same way as it did before, so others should be trialed until one is found that is effective without too many side effects - it took me quite a while to do this.
The realtionship between clinician and consumer is most important, can I suggest another GP be tried, in time one will click. If a psychologist makes him feel worse can I suggest he tells that person that this is the case and discuss how to make him feel better after a session. If that brings no joy once again time for a change.
As you can see from the above I have had to be in charge of my condition and find the right people to help me, and as everyone reacts differently I'd suggest he may need ot do the same.
As I mentioned before it is a very hard time for oyu to, can I ask what sort of support you have? Maybe a family or freind you can talk frankly with and know they care? They do not have to try to 'fix' things, just be there.
If you would like to come back and talk some more you would be welcomed
