Hi. I'm new to this and looking for a little help/guidance
My partner appears to have fallen into quite a deep depression yet refuses to acknowledge it. Day after day I see this blank/zoned out expression on her face, completely shutting me out. Some days she will refuse to leave the bed, others she won't move from the couch, often going several days without showering. Her alcohol intake has increased substantially - often sitting up on her own and drinking to the point of passing out
Other days she seems ok, yet without warning or any obvious trigger, she falls back into a bad day
I'm really concerned about her. I try to remain calm and supportive, yet no matter how gently I approach the subject, she shuts me out by saying 'I'm fine.' and 'I don't have depression'. She refuses to talk to anyone or seek help.
This has been happening off and on for the past 12 months. I really love her but I'm starting to reach the end of my tether
Any guidance here would be really appreciated
Thanks
