My significant other has severe emotional disturbance. I’m talking about becoming entirely distraught and suicidal after even the most minute of problems (ex. not getting to watch a certain television show or dropping things). I feel completely helpless in these situations and the best that I can hope to do is let him fall asleep or something and just be supportive until he gets over it, but it can take hours or even days and is so draining on my own mental health. He refuses to look into antidepressants or therapy and the mention of an involuntary psych committal can set him off. I’m lost, hopeless, and feel like I am losing my mind.
