I guess my question would be, how can I help? Other than being supportive and understanding.

He is in his late 40's and having a mid-life crisis. He's been battling anxiety and depression since I met him but he's going through a really rough patch and has felt suicidal at times.

We just moved together to a new province to take care of his sick dad and we're in a remote location without easy access to a therapist.

He shuts me out and I can't even ask how he's doing without him getting upset at the idea of "talking about it again". Anything I suggest he throws out the window. Books, videos, career tests, etc. He says he is doing as much as he can, but it's hard for me to not see him try the options that could actually help.

Before moving he sold the business he ran for 25 years, and he doesn't deal well with change. I just wish he could understand that a job doesn't make a person, we are all so much more than whatever our profession might be.
