I can sleep all day when I do get up. All I’m gonna do is go up the pub good thing I have schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder. I find it so hard now just to cope and I don’t know who to return to. I have no family where I live I have a step family but I cannot talk to them about some of my feelings. I have some really really dark dark feelings. How do I cope with this?
Hi @Dixon,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you are feeling like you can’t cope and are not sure who to reach out to. It sounds as though things are very tough for you right now. I’m so sorry to hear about your partner.
It sounds like you’re looking for support and I’m glad that you’ve been able to share how you’re feeling with us. It is very normal for people who are grieving to feel a bit lost and not know where to start.
We know that a lot of people experience suicidal thoughts when they are grieving, and it is often about wanting the person who has died back or life to go back to how we know it. We have a video about it here which you might find helpful:

There is lots of other support out there, and I would really encourage you to reach out and speak to someone about how you are feeling.
