if you have to, go ahead. but be careful, some of those SOB's can really screw you up. many of them have just a text book view of things and will tell you that your suffering from xyz when really it's abc. don't go on any meds, unless you just can't absolutely get by without them. some of that shit will just make things worse and they might start changing them hoping to find the right ones which may or may not help.
i recommend realizing that your hurting and think about why, which i think you know the answer to what that is already. i don't recall if you ever said what the prognoses for your better half is. if he's gonna get better and get out, keep that in front of you and hold on. if it's he's not then cherish every bit of time you can speak to him or see him and realize that it's part of life sometimes. sure it's gonna hurt, but time is a healer of lots of things. what's the old saying.
this to shall pass.
not saying it's going to just go away. it's may last a while, but if you see it and realize what and why it will help.
back to seeing a shrinker,/therapist. if you do decided you might want to nose around and see if you can find anything about one first. never had to deal with that myself personally so i can't tell you how about doing it.
but i can tell you from dealings with some members of family on my mothers side, good ones can help and others can cause more problems.
