@depression101. Keep talking to us here then. Respond to my post. Tell me I'm wrong. Argue with me here. Let some of your anger out here. It's safe to do it here. I don't mind what you say to me - I'm hoping it will help you see that your death would be such a waste. You are a man who loves passionately and wholeheartedly. And this separation is hurting you so much. Like slowly killing you from the inside. I understand that feeling. I have been in your shoes before.
That is why we are all trying to ask you to get some help. If you won't go to hospital or talk to lifeline I r similar - at least keep talking to us.
We care

Hi @depression101

I'm sorry to hear things have got to the point they have.

I'm really glad you reached out on these forums though. No one deserves to go through what you are at the moment, and I want you to know, you're not alone.

I have dropped you an email to check in with you.

Please take care.

Nik

Hi again @depression101

I saw in your other posts that you said you don't want to die but you feel like it's the only way for your wife to be taken care of financially.

I also saw that you said you have tried a psychologist and hospital and neither of them worked. You mentioned that no one really wants to help.

We really want to help 🙂 There are many here who have also felt like they have been backed into a corner, but have come through the other side. It takes time - but finding the right combination of what works for you and finding the right support is worth it.

And this community is here to help you along the way 🙂

Re: Depressed how fo I communicate with my wife

Hey @depression101. I hear where you are coming from. I lost the love of my life 3 years ago through MI. I have no magic wand and can't fix it for you but I wish I could. As far as I can see there is nothing to be gained, her financial stability is up to her as she left. You know you have a great capacity for love, so do I. I hope that one day I'll find love again but for now I'm slogging it out until I'm well enough that I can. My ex partner and I knew each other since I was 12. We've had chemistry together since that age but MI took that. I don't like it but I've accepted it now. It took two years for that acceptance. Do you want to share more of your story?
PS I'm feeling like hell today and have been going through wave after wave of urges but I'm still plodding through and hope you can too. I'm still here. I wish you all the very best. 💜😊🤗💐
