If he's Army, you might be able to get help from Forces charities. Tho I'm not sure how that works with still being serving.

Thinking someone like Combat Stress but that might be for the future, as obv he needs acute care just now.

Hope he gets the help he needs. Take care of yourself, too.

Maddi04 · 18/12/2018 23:49

Yeah he’s been in touch with combat stress I have sent them over an email also on their 24 hour line thank you so much for your message 🤗🤗 waddsup12 x

Sending you a hug, OP. I know how stressful this is - my DD has hanged herself twice (severe depression), and I know the awful stress and sick worry you must live with, dreading another attempt.
I hope your DH’s psychiatrist can quickly find the right antidepressant for him, and also access effective treatment for post traumatic stress. There are good treatments out there, so there is reason to be cautiously hopeful.
Please don’t get ground down with worry - get some support yourself, and someone to offload your stress to. Relaxation therapy might help you (it did me).
There are always many sympathetic ears on MN, and I hope you get lots of support here.
I will put you and DH in my prayers - may you both have a peaceful Christmas and a much happier new year, and may he find healing. God bless, OP.
