And he is on Depakote as well as teo other "supportive" meds. He is constantly tired, becoming increasingly irritable and moody. I love this man with all my heart and want very much to be with him. However, though he recognizes his mood being "off" and has for over a month, he has sought no help. I have brought up going to hisw Dr to talk. he told me they ahve to switch records to the new clinic first (Dr moved)...
He said once that is done he will go in. He will only discuss switching or changing doses of meds, not to discuss and psychological issues...
I am afraid because a week ago we were discussing our relationship and I told him regardless of anything that could occur, I would be right where I am, by his side. He told me that was great, but then went into how he's afraid not of leaving me...but of physically not being "here"...meaning alive. I am terrified. I don't know if he is having suicidal thoughts or not. I am afraid he wouldn't tell me if he is...I really don't know what to do here. I don't want to push him, but I know he needs help right now.
He is a father, he is my world and I am really in desperate need of some advice.
