When the inevitable happens

When the inevitable happens

Good morning all.

I could use some advice. My DH came home again last night and im so relieved he did. However he has admitted he feels himself spiraling down hill again. We are booked in for counseling this week and I am going to book the GP asap however what else do I need to be doing. I feel lost again.

Also im going away this weekend to see our daughter. Should I still go, should I take him too?

Open to all advice. Hopeful but totally overwhelmed.

Re: When the inevitable happens

Hi @Fullofhope79,

Connecting him to supports like a GP and counsellor sounds great! It can be hard watching our loved ones struggle, and I can see that you care about him and his safety very deeply.

Taking him with you while you visit your daughter sounds like a good idea. Alternatively, does he have anyone else he can stay with while you visit your daughter? Perhaps encouraging him to create a safety plan (he can do this with a health professional or even on his own: Suicide safety planning - Beyond Now) might be helpful.

It's very normal to feel lost; we're here to support you. You're not alone.
