How do I find the strength to help comfort and hold my significant other during his major depressive episode when I'm barely keeping myself together?

      Have you tried talking about it at your counseling sessions. Or tell him you really love him and want what's best for both of you to give it a try and see a therapist. That this is affecting you more emotionally.

      Hi are you seeing a Dr a psychiatrist or therapist? If so are you on any meds? If your not mentally well and are not being treated there's no way you could possibly handle his mental health as well.

        @Peachez Hi, I am being treated with meds and have been seeing a therapist and psychiatrist for several years. But I think we are both having bad days and I'm having trouble

          @moodyhuckleberry sorry to hear that! Is your significant other on meds as well and seeing a Dr too. Because he also needs to address his issues.
