Hi Hatim,
Thanks for such a raw and open first post.
Firstly, what an amazing partner you must be, prioritizing your loved ones metal health.
All you can do is what your doing right now, being listing, learning and growing with her on her mental health journey. Encourage her to see a mental health worker. And I'm sure with the right mental health worker and your love she will heal.
Let us know how your going.
Regards,
Doz
