I’m really struggling at the moment – my partners lack of empathy makes it worse

DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN I tell my partner I’ve had enough of life, he tells me to go ahead and kill myself.

I’m a 38-year-old woman and my mood swings are terrible. I worry about who I have become.

I’m constantly shouting at and nagging the kids.

I’m tired all the time.

I worked in a dry cleaners and when it was closed during lockdown, I piled on the weight.

I’m still carrying the extra pounds and comfort eat every day. It’s no surprise I've gained three stone.

I hate how I look. None of my clothes fit me and I spend my day in jogging bottoms and baggy T-shirts.

I don’t work now and I’m on universal credit. I don’t even have the confidence to go for an interview because I look so bad.

My relationship with my partner is non-existent. We fight all the time and he blames my moods.

When I explained how I felt suicidal he said: “Do it. Me and the kids would be fine without you.”
