Supporting a partner in a crisis

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.

please help

Jacques

Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis

Hi @Jacques - im so sorry to hear how hard things are for K at the moment. I really hope that the MHU stay is really helpful and healing for her. And also so relieved to hear that the hospital kept her for the night. I know how hard all of this would be on you but sounds like you are doing such an amazing job of supporting and helping to organise as much as you can. I hope that you're going ok. Take care

Thank you so much @Former-Member, she is doing fine now and I'm just looking after her and trying to help her believe in herself again
