Hi Everyone,

My partner has made an attempt on her life today, i wont know if she is ok till tomorrow, im so so scared of losing her, she was doing so so well, and she is really struggling, i feel like i have let her down and not done enough for her.

it came as a shock, it has been a long time since she has tried this. im scared if she survives she will keep trying.

i want to save her and would do anything for her.

i feel so so lost and alone

@Jacques so sorry to hear that.

Sending gentle thoughts your way. How are you today?

So sorry to hear about your partner @Jacques, we all hope you both had a better day today. How are you feeling?

Hi @Former-Member and @Ali11

i am coping, i had a really long night, i thought i was going to wake up and not here from my partner again, it felt like someone knocked the wind out of me, im so so scared of losing her, she is ok today, she feels guilty and ashamed, im trying my best to support her and be non udgmental, i love her so so much

That's great that you are there for your partner @Jacques, have you had the chance to talk to someone about what has happened in the past 24 hours?

hi @Ali11 no, i tryed to contack suicidecallback service, but i was too anxious, so i just dealt with my panic attacks and thoughts on my own

@Jacques times like these are very confusing and it is important to ramp up your own supports. Are you under the care of a therapist? Keeping up with your walking program can help too.

PS How is your new car going?
