I'm going through the same thing at the moment, my partner doesn't know the full extent because he freaks out about it and blames himself which often makes my depression worse. I know I shouldn't keep him in the dark about it but iI feel so his own well being its best for now. I currently just release all my fears into my only friend so that my partner can have a break to recuperate. So maybe find a find who you can fall back on for a while to help your boyfriend. Hope I helped.

Hey Guys,
I too went through a faze like you are both going through, it wasn't that I actually wanted to do anything, although had planned it to a T, I just couldn't see any way out, so I put safe guards in, to stop myself doing something permanent for what could be a temporary feeling. Finding someone who is going through it aided me, you keep fighting to keep them safe and vice versa, try and find the ebs and flows of your emotional ups and downs, you don't even have to journal it, just place an upward arrow when you are doing well nothing when you are normal and a downward arrow for feeling low, it helps to notice any pattern it then helps you to avoid triggers.
My husband has always been very supportive and I often felt I asked to much of him, but if I hadn't and I had acted on my emotions he would have been devastated, here is the thing, if you ask for support they have a choice, and they are in the loop which is better for both of you, if you don't ask for help, it often makes it worse for both of you.
Forwarned is for armed and all that, If I was feeling really low, I didn't even have to talk to my husband, I would just say Hug, and that was enough, he would wrap his arms around me and hold me until it was ok to let me go.
Hope this helps, There can be light at the end of the tunnel,
Love Light and Peace x

Suicidal thoughts, not coping, how to get treatment without carrying out my plans?

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

Lately, my mood is really low to the brink where I'm suicidal and it's affecting my relationship with my boyfriend. It's so hard to fight it and I hate it. Don't get me wrong he's there for me whenever I need him and recently stopped me committing but I can't help but feel he'd be better off without me and my problems; I ask too much of him(?)
