need support

[Peddler]

I have been married for 31 years and my wife has struggled with depression, addictive behaviours, self-loathing, etc. most of that time. She has been mostly functional, but last week she seems to have lost touch with reality. She voluntarily checked into a mental health facility 3 days ago.
I am really struggling with loneliness and fear. Looking for support!

Hi Peddler,
Welcome 

How are you taking care of yourself at the moment and looking after you?

Hi Peddler, and welcome!

You'll find lots of good support here.

Can you say a little more about the kind of support you are looking for?  What kinds of things are you finding challenging?  Is there something in the resources here that resonates with you and your situation?

Let us know.
