hey weathered - i think the idea to show your wife this page is a good one. before i was diagnosed i was having a horrible time and it got to a point i had to do something but i couldn't tell my parents so i wrote them a letter - they were straight on the case. sometimes it's easier to express things non-verbally, it means you can get things across without panic, interruption, and setting things out clearly.

i think it's true that admitting all is not well is a good step and the most important one - once you admit these things to yourself they become beyond ignoring, and therefore something to deal with, and getting them dealt with is so important. getting help is important, no one could ever be expected to carry all the horrible things in their head alone - doctors and friends are there for that reason.

i hope you get through this, keep talking on here (it's helpful!) and good luck xx
