Coming from some one who has mental health issues- It’s extremely hard for someone to hear that their loved one is at a breaking point and a lot of times they can’t handle it. That doesn’t (typically) means they don’t care-they just don’t know how to process. YOU matter. The world needs you. Please seek out professional help. Sit your SO down and explain that these feelings are real and genuine, but you’re going to get support from someone who can handle it and go see a doctor. Don’t make permanent decision over a temporary feeling.

I know it may be hard right now but this too shall pass. Please love yourself enough to get some help. You matter. people love you and will miss you. Don't harm yourself when you can help yourself.

While we would like our friends, family, and loved ones to be able to help us with depression (or other mental health issues) it’s rare that they are mentally and emotionally equipped to actually deal with those issues. You must seek professional help from a professionally trained psychologist, counselor, or psychiatrist. Effectively dealing with mental health issues takes training and the right kind of personality. While I will not defend what your spouse said, there are some people who attempt to manipulate others through threats of suicide who have no real intentions of carrying that out. That is part of the reason that sometimes people do not respond appropriately when you might tell them you are suicidal. The other part is just not knowing how to deal with a mental health issue in someone close to them. OP, please seek professional counseling. There is help available.

I am so sorry about your SO's reaction. They must have some mental health issues also. Maybe they felt overwhelmed. There is always a better day down the road if you seek help and don't give up. Sending love & hugs

Please call the suicide hotline or something. Good luck

The Suicide Hotline has a text version, phone, and chat on their website. For anyone else with this problem--if you have had a recent attempt, please either contact them or go to the ER. This is a mental health crisis--please seek medical help. You are not a burden, and no one will be mad at you. Even if you end up in the psych ward, they are perfectly nice places where you can rest and watch TV, and you will be perfectly safe and treated well (I've been there). Please seek help. The world needs you.
