I am a middle aged male (50+), married for 20 years (sort of), no children, minor health issues. My wife hasn't said a word to me in 3 days, other than to respond to direct statements. Our pets talk to me more than she does. Apparently our animals have the alleged capacity to see ghosts (i.e., me) since I don't seem to exist in any plane that intersects with hers.
For about 9 months I have been going to a ketamine clinic. It helps, but treatment brings its own baggage.
I am not unfriendly, but I am not a social creature...not in real nor virtual life.
I can't say that C19 hasn't affected me, but due to employment and location, hasn't really changed much for me/my family. OK, probably stress.
I suppose my safety plan is a ridiculously awkward/difficult means, but I have reached a point of often thinking of "where and when?". Not an intentional safety measure, but I am still here, in spite of my best efforts. (Intended as an injection of light-heartedness...)
I have had acquaintances that committed suicide, an uncle, and a few years ago, someone that I had known for 30 years (give or take).

What more can I say? I have my issues and here I am.

Sorry that you lost them to suicide, and that you are feeling suicidal too

Is your relationship with your wife the main thing that is making you feel suicidal?

Do you want some information about treatment methods?

Hello
How are you today? Did a day make a difference? You mentioned attending a ketamine clinic. For depression I am guessing? Treatment working? Ah your wife is giving you the silent treatment. My experience has been it is because you may have been insensitive. Forgot an anniversary or birthday? Said something Insensitive? Did not help in some way? May I suggest you cook her her favorite meal and clean up. Women like it when husbands help around the house without being asked.

Hi. Welcome to the forums @Trying4Life. I'm sorry you're going through so much. I'm certainly no social butterfly either, but I can tell you have a great sense of humor.

It's great that you're going to treatment for your ketamine problem. In relation to your wife, I'm sorry you're having relationship troubles. It might be worth just giving the issue some time, or potentially considering relationship therapy, if it doesn't resolve itself. On this forum, you'll be able to find lots of compassion and advice.

Stay safe. Sending hugs *brohug.
