Please could someone give me some advice to help me and my partner? I have been suffering from depression for about 9 months possibly longer, myself and my partner realised what was wrong with me 7 weeks ago and I went straight to the doctors for help. I have been taking Prozac ever since and I am also attending EFT counselling sessions of which I have had two two-hour sessions (one last week and one this week). We have been reading depression fallout together and are on our way to being half way through the book. At times I have been pushing my partner away and due to my erratic, criticising and sometimes very angry and finger pointing behaviour toward my partner things have become very tense and argumentative between us. As I am now receiving help and starting to feel better my episodes of nastiness and finger pointing are becoming less frequent but I feel the damage caused by the past few months has done damage that needs to the repaired ASAP before there is no turning back. The latest argument and the worst for a while was yesterday, I had been to my counselling session, which had dragged up some very powerful emotional memories that I have buried all my life my mood was low and I was seeing behaviours in my partner that werent there. Although our arguments are less frequent since starting to feel better I find our arguments when they do happen soul destroying for both of us as we dont know what to do, I have sort help and have stuck to it rigidly, when my mood started to pick up a week and a half ago we expected the arguments to virtually stop so we could have a rest from our suffering, in this time we have had three arguments and they drag us both back down into a pit of despair. I realise that my partner retaliates during arguments as hes been through months of being criticised, shouted at and put down by me during my bad spells and is now at the end of his tether, Im sure in his shoes I would feel exactly the same. I realise that a week and a half of feeling better isnt much time but I an frightened that we may not have much longer before theres not turning back for us. My partner is the best thing that every happened to me and I am terrified of losing him due to this illness. I will do anything to help us both through this and would be very grateful for any help you could provide.
