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

Hugs @Jacques sounds like you are struggling a lot, i hope that the low and difficult thoughts ease up for you soon. I am glad that K is home and hope that she is finding joy with her loved ones and that its helping. I hope though that her physical wellness improves quickly as its hard enough without being sick on top...
Keep trying to look after you, sending gentle care your way

Re: Supporting a partner in a crisis

Hi my dear friend @Former-Member, yes it is a tough time for both of us, but we are getting through each day, each month. Together. I don't regret meeting her or falling in love, every step has been worth while and we are falling in love more and more each day.

How are you going my dear friend, how are the two little ones? How are you coping? Have you met anyone or found some sort of peace in your life?

I miss talking to you and all my forum friends. Hugs to you @Former-Member, you are truly a strong, brave and amazing woman ☺️

Hope your partner starts to pick up a bit too.
