Mental Illness Fellowship Northern Territory

@PeppiPatty, im not sure if im well ahead, some days i feel like im 50 steps behind, i have tried to educate myself as much as possible and i do alot of reading from counsellors. The 4 things i tweaked an activity in gary chapmans love languages book. Hoping that it helps him to understand that he isnt alone. Also that he is supported and worthy as he has a huge issue with feeling although he is unworthy and he also believes everybody is going to leave him. 

In response to your comment "his mental health is fragile and he needs me" - i need him too, but not in a mental health sense, he doesnt see how much happiness he brings to my life, so in turn, being able to be there for him and support him like he asks of me is my way of i guess giving him what he gave me. He says that he doesnt know what happiness is and if this is what we need to do to find his happiness then i will do absolutely anything to give him that. I would move mountains for him, but unfortunately due to his mental health he cant see it. I think that is what is challenging. He is so unable to see that not everybody will leave, that he is worthy of love.

I feel like your husband is such a lucky man to have somebody like you in his life, i understand how isolating this journey is, my friends dont understand why i choose to stay and support him although hes left me.
