Hello all - I am a 33F and my partner 37M, has struggled with anxiety, depression, and OCD for most of his life. We have been together for about 8 months and I’ve really seen over the past 2 months or so, him really struggling with his anxiety over changing medication dosage (tried decreasing Zoloft due to zero libido and severely backfired). I am a mental health professional but in my personal life, it feels like a whole other story. I’m trying to be supportive and do the right things for my partner but sometimes it’s so challenging.

The recent holiday turned into an entire anxiety then depressive episode of him taking too many Ativan and mixing alcohol and us calling off everything. It honestly scared me, and I don’t know how to express that without making anything worse and him feeling more anxious and embarrassed about it.

Any advise or resources I can look into and read would be helpful. Thanks!
