Hey everyone, TIA for anyone kind enough to read this and offer advice. My husband of 10 years has always had depression with him, but chronic pain has more recently made his mental health decline further. He's begun talking about suicide with me about once a week, and I know he thinks about it more often than that. He is currently talking with a psychologist now and I am looking for a psychiatrist who can help with medicine. 

Other than attending doctor's visits with him and listening to him any time he wants to talk about it, I do not know how else to help him, which is a heartbreaking and fucking frustrating position to be in. I am constantly worried that he will finally make that decision to end his life, which means I am a very anxious and likely smothering wife right now. How can I better handle this? What does he need from me?
