First of all, I would like to commend you for showing concern and support for you partner. At times, I too have made comments that may sound exremely upsetting or morbid to my wife while I was in a deppressive state. I can't imagine how upsetting statements such as these can be. I think when I talk in this way, it is my way of releasing inner anxiety. Some depressed people have these thoughts constantly {ruminations} and yet don't verbally express them.
In our eight years of marriage, there has been times when my wife has had concerns such as yours. She has on several occassions, personally phoned the doctors office, explained the situation, and booked the appointment for me. One can never be too cautious when it comes to helping a family member. Upon hearing of my booked appointment, I seemed to get a "kick in the pants" type feeling and would always attend. Hope this helps and all the best. Rick
