Morning everyone since my last post I have seen the phycologist twice and as I already knew alot of my problems stem from my past plus I believe my wife had a lesbian fling when she went away for 3 months it's the fact that she won't discuss it with me rather than what actually happened and I can't get past it since my attempt I've had two bad days

Hi @Dammit ...I hope the psychologist has been helpful, since your suicide attempt...although of course I know it takes time to build up a rapport with a therapist.
Do you feel able to discuss your past with the psychologist, and also the possible affair your wife had?
Well done for successfully getting through the 2 bad days since your attempt. 🙂
How is your severe depression doing?

@Dammit Sorry you are having some bad days. It’s hard getting back up after a hard knock. I hope you can talk openly with your psych, it takes time and patience.
Your wife might be feeling embarrassed and not really know what to say, maybe something else that needs time and patience.
I hope there are moments of light during this tough time. Take care.
