First post... am I losing my mind? non-BP spouse

[Fredjamin]

So I went to our local crisis center yesterday after my spouse hinted at suicide. Since she was unwilling to go I went by myself and at intake the counselor said “do you know it’s been a year since the last time you were here?” Last time I went after I experienced a gambit of abusive behavior.
I am sick and tired of this. I don’t want to waste another year doing the same thing. I have been scouring the internet reading every article and site income across. I have tried calling counselors and I am waiting to hear back from them. I tried ALANON last time and still am a part of that. I feel it is only a half measure however.
I started reading the book “walking on eggshells” and found myself in several of the stories and situations. I feel hurt, confused, frustrated, lost, foolish, and bitter.
How CAN this forum help? How HAS it helped? How can I get help for myself? Since I don’t know what to do I thought I would ask for help. Any positive insight would be welcomed.
