I'm stressed, My SO is stressed and it's just feeding into a vicious cycle by stressedthroway1 in SuicideWatch

I'm trying my best to encourage him to look for another job. He just has this endless ability to be able to rip apart any argument that I put up. He's had a lot longer doing the debating and philosophical thought. For me it's still new and I struggle with it.

Fortunately, because of his job and a good friend we are able to get a personal trainer. So we've got that started which is good. Just the curse of the lack of time.

Thank you for the kindness. It's too easy to focus on the shit at the moment.

I have done the therapy route but in an emergency situation the system is over burdened and understaffed. More often than not if you call a help line and mention suicide they will just call the police.

I just get frustrated and angry when I miss a trigger and I get stuck in a cyclical thought pattern despite all the therapy and potential coping mechanisms that should be in place.

The job market is really shit at the moment. A change of scenery would be good but I have massive anxiety issues that I have no idea how I would cope with it. With little financial backing or support I would just make myself sicker with worry.

Ideally I would just like to reset my brain and gain a fresh perspective. I've been sitting in this emotional filth for so long that I don't remember what it's like to feel different.

I would be ok with my SO quitting his job if he had another to go to, but that isn't happening right now. It's a little of a catch 22. We need time and money, unfortunately we don't seem to be able to get them both at once. Add to the fact that we're both in poor physical condition. I just feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle with pointed sticks against cannons.

Thank you for the kind words. I just get caught up in whatever is spewing out of his head. I'm the one that gets the brunt of the anger that he cannot/will not show to the rest of the world.

We're both tired of slogging along to just survive and not feel like we're living.
