I’m scared my partner might kill himself.
I’m 26 and he’s 35. We’re still in the early stages of our relationship. Sometimes when we’re together he seems okay, but once we both go home, I see him posting on Twitter or Instagram about his mental illness and how he wants to end his life.
And this gives me really intense anxiety. I know—I’ve learned that I can’t make someone else better or “fix” them. At the same time, I thought this part of me, this idea that it’s my mission to save everyone, was over—that I had healed from it.
But today I saw again that he said something about ending his life, or just that he wants to die, like passive suicidal ideation, and I got really anxious. I was at a party and it basically ruined the whole night for me.
I don’t know what to do. If anyone sees this and has been in a similar situation, please help me.
