I can't speak to IC, I don't know it well enough.
I can't speak to the helplessness of being the SO, watching someone you can't help, but love so deeply. I've been the one who experiences the pain.
But... From what you've said, your wall of text, you are stronger than so many people I've seen. You've recognised when you need help, and that helps both of you. That's amazing.
I can't offer any remedies you might want, but I can offer a voice telling you that you aren't alone, and your story makes me proud that someone hurting has someone so strong next to them. Even when you don't feel that way.
