Hi. Welcome to beyond blue.
Sorry to read about what you are going through currently. Not being in your or your partners position I am not sure what exactly I can do to help you but I am listening. That said, I did hit the Internet and found that mood swings are not unusual.
The National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre (NCPIC) has resources you might find useful. Although be aware that some links on the site go nowhere. Not sure how you speak with your partner about his problem but if you can find the "ncpic resources" there are documents that might help.
As for you, it is all about managing and knowing your triggers etc.
Do you know what your triggers are?
Do you have any distraction and coping mechanisms?
Are you sleeping OK? Good sleep hygiene can help reduce anxiety/depression?
On the forums you will find other threads to help you manage including...
Three things to be thankful for today - Beyondblue
Grounding yourself, What is it and how do you? - Beyondblue
Relaxation exercises - Beyondblue
(Hopefully the information the information these pages will give you some ideas.) Do a google search to find the above pages. My psychologist has also given me other tools, suggested apps to install my phone (only 2) and a 1 book to read. If you have any questions or want to chat, please let me know.
