Feeling lost

I am struggling at the moment as my partner had a life changing fall back in April this year. I witness the whole incident.

Falling onto the road causing multiple fractures from collarbone, elbow, ribs and pelvis. Airlifted by helicopter to ICU Trauma at Westmead Hospital. Finally after 3 months he came home this week. I have endured the fall, the preparation of not surviving and the lasting disabilities he now has for life.

The frail man struggling to perform daily tasks and me now his primary carer.

I am so emotional and doubt my ability to live life this way. I feel guilty that I feel this way. 

I have overcome so much in my own life thanks to him. Anxiety and Panic disorder controlled me for most of my life until I reconnected with him. He gave me self belief and confidence to overcome my fears. I still have these demons but I control them not they me. I just feel life has become so overwhelming right now and am reaching out for some support.
