severely depressed partner

[Keunio]

Hello to all my dear brothers and sisters. I'm going through a huge difficulty... My partner has severe depression and recently she's been self-harming and taking medication to get high. She tries to use the "least harm" therapy and it's obviously ineffective... We talked once and she told me she can't imagine her life without melancholy, that she's lived like this for so long that she doesn't know what it would be like to be happy. She used this argument and I know it's an excuse not to get better; it's not easy to get better, but if she doesn't even want to try, how will that happen? What should I do? Is there any way the gods can help her? She's not a Zevist. I almost convinced her to come to Zevism, but she thinks it's too much work because of the spiritual routine, but again, it was just her depression preventing her from leaving her comfort zone.

Is she physically active? Regular exercise (among other things) helped me get out of severe clinical depression. Seeing a professional could make a difference if you can get her to go. Diet and a good sleep routine are important factors as well. There are studies that show promissing effects of high doses of magnesium. There are many ways but it only works if the patient is cooperating.

Asking for divine help is another thing you could do. After doing Asclepius or Valefors ritual you could present your case.

Wish you success.

She has to be willing to change for the better. Having none, you are a central figure who can influence her to a better future. After she has some will to change, the abovementioned and many other ways are effective solutions.

You should tell her family. Too many people in relationships where one is depressed and harming, develop an inner closed-off world shutting out other people. We are not meant to be closed off to others, we are supposed to have a support network.

Self-harming can develop into suicide attempts, so you should definitely contact her family about this. If she has no family, then there are legal support groups that can provide help and give you a support system. This is not fair to you to have to deal with on your own.

In addition, you can try spiritual cleaning for her, this can help improve her mood but should not be the only thing you do. You can use perhaps Wunjo rune and program it to help her get the help she needs, make sure to include "in beneficial and healthy ways for her" on your affirmation.
