So tired...
My partner of 7 yrs has extreme anxiety, and depression. I also have depression which I take medication for, and practise mindfulness etc.
I am so exhausted. I do pretty much everything around the house, as well as working part time and studying part time.
My partner has a history of substance abuse, aka self medicating. This hit crisis point with me a year ago, and has resulted in a vast improvement, although I have my doubts as to the claim of total abstinence. There is still a low level of irresponsibility relating to medication use, eg a few too many prescription relaxation medications.
Regular visits to a Gp and psychologist occur, and sporadic visits to a psychiatrist. Medication is taken, but behavioural tools and steps rarely if ever get followed through.
I am extremely close to being done with the entire situation, I am exhausted, my depression is increasing.
I feel like the worst person possible for thinking about being done. I don't know how my partner will cope, and the reluctance to change the way she operates throughout her day means that I am not coping.
I know no one can give me an answer, I am just venting. Life is draining me.
