Hi DeathRay,
I just joined the forum tonight because I'm probably a lot like your husband, but I have reached the point where I definitely need to talk with another "supporter". I have a lot of friends, but none who knows what I'm going through as a supporter of someone with mental health challenges. I've tried talking to a couple of counselors in the past, but even that seemed like talking to someone who is too removed to understand. I am hoping to connect with others who just want to walk this path together in support of our spouses who are dealing with such pain. Perhaps your hubby has experienced the frustration of not having someone "outside enough" to talk with, but can truly understand what he's going through.
Maybe he should join this forum, too : )
