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.

Hi @Shaz51 and @outlander

I am OK this weekend, I had a quiet one bbecause it is freezing here, it is snowing a few hours away from where I live.

Been supporting my partner a lot over the weekend as she is struggling with her knee and mental health. Hopefully she can get an op on her knee soon.

Hugs my awesome friends, thank you so much for thinking of me

Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis

That sounds really difficult for you and for your partner. If you are afraid she will take her life, call the ambulance. If the police need to attend as well, then that is a better outcome than her taking her life. She may be upset with you but maybe she is not able to make the best decisions for herself at the moment. Getting her the help she needs is the most important consideration
