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.

please help

Jacques

Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis

hi @Appleblossom @Former-Member and @Former-Member,

thank you for thinking about me, no @Former-Member my partner is still in hospital and not doing well at all, it has been a really rough week. we are both so exhausted and hoping next wek is a bit better.

my dear friends @Former-Member and @Appleblossom K said to say hello, and thank you @Appleblossom for letting me know to think of me, im trying but it is hard when the ones you love are struggling so much. i am taking time for me to reenergize, and i am trying to get as much rest as i can. i have been getting a lot of panic attacks of late. which is not helping.

i hope all three of you lovely ladies are doing well and you are all often in my thoughts

@JacquesI just meant that I really felt for your situation so much .. caring for someone through a hospitalisation .. that words could not help.

Sorry if it sounded abrupt.

Glad you still post, but dont worry about it. Only post when you can.

How is your garden? Has it been totally dried out by summer?

I used to love your photos. Just posted this pic for its quirky perspective.

Gentle words of encouragement for you to ramp up your own mental health care; when our loved ones are in hospital it can be difficult for us too. Have you been able to access extra support?
