so on sunday night my OH tried to kill himself, it was lilys christening day to, it was meant to be her special day, my boyfriend has spiralled into depression and i feel like my life is falling a part, i'm trying to juggle college, look after lily and care for him. im the only one he will talk to or can calm him down. i feel so alone no one understands me. I dont even no how to help him, his parents are going to speak to some one to see how to help. but what about me what can i do?
xx
 
:hugs::hugs::hugs:
im sorry youve having to go through this..
all you can really do is be there for him, try to understand if he talks to you about whats bothering him and never dismiss what he is saying or act like its unimportant or you dont care.
i also think its a really good idea he gets some professional help :) it is not that common but dads can get PND too xx
 
Oh god hun im so sorry! I know how hard it is cos i look after my mom who suffers from depression. Just make sure theres someones there to look after you aswell :) cos looking after your partner and your baby will really run you down if you dont take a break a break once in a while. Your doing a really wonderful thing by looking after him so well :) and we're all here for you!

omg, hun when I clicked on this thread it brought tears to my eyes!
:hugs::hugs:
 
I am so sorry :hugs: It already sounds like you are doing everything you can by listening to him, sorting him out etc but he needs to get help off somebody else by going to see a GP or something.
 
:hugs: I'm so sorry to hear you are going through this hun.. I know what it feels like coping with someone with depression, my mum has depression, and I have had depression and battle with it continuously. Just today a friend was round who has depression too and she was talking to me about it all. It's a very difficult time, and all you can do is be there for him. I think you do need to take time out for you as well, especially when you are looking after a young baby. What about his parents? Maybe he can spend the day with them while you and Lily have a day together? Keep strong hun :) If you need to talk, PM me.

Don't know what to say, other than im so sorry, hope everything gets easier for you!!!
 
awww hun wow! I do know how hard it is when depression is around. But whether you realise it or not just being there is going to be a help for him. He must be so scared and confused right now that just having you there to talk to will be a big help. But you do need to take time for yourself like others have said. No matter how much you love him it will be really hard taking on all of his problems with yours and looking after a LO at the same time. Respect you though. Is there anyone that you can talk to about it. You need to have an outlet some where or relieving all your worrys and problems so it doesnt just all build up. Remember to have you time aswell hun. :]
We are all here for you to rant at aswell lol :p
 
I'm quite unsure what advice to offer, but just wanted to send hugs :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:
 
Aww that must have been so hard for u! Keep strong! Has he been to the docs? my ex suffered from depression n i made him go to the docs & he got anti-depressants, they helped loads :thumbsup: he was like a changed guy :)
Hope he gets better soon xxx
 
OMG how terrible! You sound like your helping just by being there with support and love :) Don't know what advice to offer other than letting him know your always there to listen to him. I really hope he gets help and you get things back on track xx
 
:hugs: i'm not a teen parent im wtt but i know where you're coming from. my OH tried to kill himself too. you need to stay strong, from now it should be better as it's out in the open that he has problems. he needs help but he needs to want it. my OH went to councelling as his depression came from a specific problem. he is so much better now, hopefully in time your OH will be too
 
so sorry hun know how your feeling as my dad committed suicide when i was younger. just make sure you got people to talk to aswell and someones there to look after you x x
