My husbands mental health isn't good I need to take him away Aibu to take him for a break in the uk?

I would just take the usual weekly grocery shop with me

I can't find anywhere to rent online until July 4th

Any ideas

Could you look at doing some different things and going to some different places to shake things up a bit if you feel he needs a change? Meet up with some friends somewhere different?

It may sound cheesy but you could plan a nice staycation to tide him over until you can get away. It could include some exercise and good food, both good for your mental health.

Get creative.

And definitely get him to talk to his GP.

Can you camp in the garden? I know that sounds crazy but the benefits of being outside overnight would be the same as camping elsewhere. The reconnection with nature.

There is no counselling available atm

Not true. IAPT is operating countrywide online, admittedly maybe with longer waits. Or you could use the holiday money for some private sessions online.

Dominic Cummings went over night and the police said he didn’t break any laws and that was in solid lockdown.

I don't think you really understand how mental health works, OP.

I am so sorry he's struggling and I hope you find ways to help him. Getting outdoors does help if you can & your GP should be able to refer him for support.

Unless you have exceptional circumstances (or are a top Government aide) I'm afraid you are not allowed to go away to stay anywhere else for now.

Not sure about in your country but counselling is still definitely available online in the UK so might be similar elsewhere? My friend has been having her normal weekly sessions via Skype and she says they are just as effective as face to face. I think a holiday would be nice but please understand that is is not a 'cure' for mental illness.

If you can’t access NHS help then surely it’s better to get private help using the money you would have spent in a holiday?

Counselling is available in my area. There’s about a 6 week wait for telephone CBT sessions following the initial phone consultation. Hope your DH can get the support he needs and that you are ok too.
