Hi, I am new here. I'm soon to be 36. I am here looking for support for those who have a spouse with mental illness. My husband was recently discharged from the psychiatric unit after a bad mental breakdown that seemed to be triggered by a change in medication. He struggles greatly with major depression, generalized anxiety, and OCD. I'm being as supportive as I can and I keep reassuring him that we are a team and can get through this together. I also struggle with anxiety and bouts of depression but not quite to the extent he does. The last several weeks have been emotionally exhausting as while we have been dealing with his hospitalization etc, we have also been dealing with our sick cat. We are just trying to take it one day at a time and remain positive.
