Should I call someone?

[somethingdifferent1]

2 hours ago I was on the verge of some kind of panic attack/nervous breakdown. This is the 3rd time in the past week I've felt like this, but each time have managed to calm myself down (probably for the sake of DC) and haven't spoken to anyone about it. It doesn't take much though for these feelings to resurface, but tonight is my last opportunity to speak to someone for a few days before DP comes home tomorrow.

Should I still speak to someone tonight even though I'm calmer now, or should I just leave it until the next time I feel this way?

Why can't you speak to someone if your DH is there?

If you feel on the edge of a crisis then you do need to speak to someone. Otherwise I'd just speak to the GP on Monday b

Who would you speak to, OP? Are you thinking a friend, mental health charity or GP/111?

What do you mean last chance to speak to someone before your DH comes home? Would you speak to him? Would you be unable to speak to someone if he is there? If the latter, then yes, please do call someone - a friend or helpline or 111.

Do you have a sense of what kind of support may help you? No harm in calling now while you are able to articulate with less urgency.

Absolutely confide in someone now. It might have faded now but has happened a few times so may well not be the last time. Set up your support for when / if it happens again, including to make sure your DC are taken care of if needed, and make sure you have someone there. Why would your DP being home be an issue?

I was going to call my manager; I don't feel like I could call anyone else. I don't even necessarily expect my manager to understand but they just seem the most objective person (I won't state the industry I work in but someone struggling with mental health isn't outside of their remit).

I can't speak to anyone when DP is here as it's in part about him that I need to speak about.

I don't think you need someone objective, OP, you need someone whose priority is ensuring you are healthy and supported. I would be surprised if that would be your manager? Is there not a friend or family member who can be there for you?

Your GP would be my first port of call. But it’s worrying you say it’s in part about DH. Are you safe?

are you like this because dp is coming home and fir some reason it’s caused anxiety to tear it’s head ?
