Supporting a partner in a crisis

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.

Jacques

hi @Former-Member we have had 44mm of rain so far and we have an expected 60mm comming, all the farm dams are full here and there is actually puddles, the water is not soaking straight through the soil. so hopfully we can get some follow up rain for the farmers.

The worry out here now @Former-Member is a locust plague which usually follows good rain

Yikes Jacques ...unless of course you are interested in Thai cuisine. Fond memories of this old advert.

hi everyone,

im having a rough day today, my partner hurt her knee falling a month and a half ago and things have slowly gone down hill, the past couple of days she has been talking about taking her own life again, it has been so long since she has felt this way i thought it was past us, i guess im in shock she still feels this way.

im so devistated. i was on the phone to her crying this afternoon trying to keep her safe. i just hope i can do enough to keep her from hurting herself. i need her and love her so so much

Sorry nobody responded to your last post for a few days. Dealing with someone close who is suicidal is horrific. Lots of self care and hope they pick up that habit too.

I loved hearing about your computer and desk.

Good Times

Hi @anonymouse_ and @Appleblossom

things are a bit better now, my partner got her knee operation done, but she almost died on the operating table, her throat spasmed and they had to resusatate her. she scared everyone, even her surgen. anyway she is on the mend now, she is having good and bad days, but i am giving her all the love and support i have to give
