Hey Eoghanacht,

I'm not sure what is up with your partner.....but I am guessing that if she was supposed to look into programs for mental health issues, then she must be having some mental health issues going on.

It can be so frustrating to see someone you care about suffering, and even more frustrating when that person knows what to do to get help yet doesn't.

Sadly though, until she (or anyone) is ready for help, they aren't going to take that step.

(There is an exception to that though. If you feel that she is in danger of harming herself, then you-or anyone else- has the responsiblity to get help for her by calling the appropriate people, whether 911, police, crisis line, etc).

So what the f are you to do? Well, without knowing all the details of the situtation, this is what I would do:

Keep encouraging her to make that phone call. Remind her why she needs to make that phone call-you want the both of you to work on getting better so you can be happy and healthy together. That how she is feeling now, isn't how it always has to be. But she won't get better, she won't feel better if she doesn't take the first step.
