hi everyone, i really don't know where else to turn, this is the first time i have bene on the carers forum, my partner is suicidal and she almost made an attempt 2 days ago, she had to change meds because of the warf strike preventing her meds comming into aus, and the ones she is on now have made her really unwell, she can't make phone calls and she is scared of police comming to her house. i have tried contacting so many people to get her into a MHU, i have talked her into going volintarily, but their is no way that i can find to get her their.
Hi @Former-Member, yes, I got to finish it, I will take a photo of it tomorrow, we'll today, you know what I mean ☺️ thinks are going OK for me. Just life stuff to manage, but nothing overly stressful.
Hugs my friend, I hope things are going good for you.

Hi @Jacques Very impressed with the garden seat, heaps different to what I thought it would look like. I would be chuffed to have a seat like that at our place ... are you taking orders??? Have you any other projects in mind?

Oh @Former-Member, your making me blush, it is nice to reuse old timber people think is not useful, it used to be an old bed, I carefully pulled it apart, and used 95% of the timber from it, oh @Former-Member, I would love to make you one. I really wish I could.
Yes, mum wants me to make a matching coffee table, so that is the next project. It will take time as I don't have any timber left

Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis
@Jacques One can often pick up coffee tables in need of restoration cheaply at garage sales. Old beds often end up at the dump so cost can be minimal. Going later in the day often ensures even lower prices as people just want to get rid of what is left.
