bob, sometimes if a partner has never suffered with anxiety or depression it is very hard for them to understand how you are feeling. i suppose you've already tried to explain? if not sit down and tell them exaxtly how it is, even then it's hard for someone to understand. maybe yur partner could go to the docs with you and they could explain what is going on. i wish you the best, it's awful when you feel so lonely. i have 2 teens and a husband (just) and feel lonely even in their company sometimes. its like a terrible isolation feeling like you're on the outside looking in.
here if you need to talk.
