I tried to commit suicide last night tw.

[Frustratedlady]

I have been having a issue with my husband during a psychotic depressive episode. Last night I grabbed the months worth of meds (I take four different meds) and locked myself in the bathroom. My husband had to kick the door in to stop me. I don't know how I'm going to get through the next minute let alone today.

Didn't want to let this post go unanswered. Would it be a good idea to call the community mental health team for support. How has your DH been, supportive?? I hope you are feeling better today.

Take it one minute at a time. That's all you need to get through for now.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

There'll be plenty of people here to hold your hand though.

How are you feeling now? Keep talking

On here; there are lots of people who will listen and care. You need to speak to someone in RL too. Is there a crisis team you can contact?

My mum is coming up shortly and I just phoned Samaritans.

My husband I was arguing with because I believe he is having a emotional affair and told him to end it. I'm also afraid he is gas lighting me. So he's not supportive right now.

I'm down my mums now so I'm safe.

Hi, I'm sorry that I didn't reply again yesterday. I'm very glad you're safe and at your mums. How are you today? I'm sorry to hear about your concerns regarding your husband, that must feel awful.

I hope today is better for you.

My mum sent me to bed as I was exhausted from not sleeping and couldn't coherently explain what was wrong although I didn't sleep I felt better and less confused afterwords. I slept a bit last night and that's the first time in days. I feel a little better but I'm scared about talking to my husband as my thoughts are so twisted up by him that I don't know who's right wrong or anything really.

Can you have some time apart from him while you try and sort through your thoughts? I hope you feel a bit calmer now.

I do feel calmer now thank you and yes I'm staying at my mums at the moment to sort out how I feel.

I think that's a good idea as it's hard to work through feelings and thoughts when you're right in the middle of it if that makes sense? Glad you're feeling a bit better now.

Sewingandcakes I have worked out my feelings now I am calmer and I have gone home to sort things out when dh gets home from work.

I am really sorry to read about what you have gone through. In addition to the advice others have given here, you can seek out your local MIND charity facilities - they offer support, advice and resources. I had a similar episode and a friend took me to a local support group whereby I received some excellent assistance to get me on the right track thereafter.

Relate might be able to help you, hugs X

Thanks both.
