I have very few friends and my boyfriend is taking on all my mental health issues alone. But, I feel like he's at the end of this tether.
Now I'm worried how I'll cope if my main support suddenly isn't there, what if he gives up on me too.
I haven't felt this low in a long time, I spent most of last week sleeping on the sofa and didn't leave the house. I have a 4 yr old son and I know that my health isn't he problem but he's having to deal with it too.
Just feeling like a complete burden.

Franks, Welcome
It is important you talk to your GP and explain your fears and concerns, you seem to have a nice Partner who is tying to help you through your Depression.
If the needs be take your Partner with you when you see your GP. Make a list of all your problems and fears and that will help you remember what you want to say. You could also ask for a two appointment session so you have time to explain your needs to Him
At the moment, my man can't be with me. So he deals with it through phonecalls really. And thats a big load as it is. I'm almost always telling him that I'm afraid the ever so loving support he gives me won be as strong when he gets here. And saying that upset's him.
But Franks, all we can do is pray that we also listen to HIM when he needs us and convince him to do things to release all he's taking in (we should do the same of course)
But really, how dangerous and powerful is our mind because thats the only place the fear and anxiety is coming from. And only certain time's do I win the battle and tell it to be quiet.
