Psychotic husband- how do I hold it together?

[olith]

My DH had a psychotic break about a year ago (work stress), I've been caring for him on my own while raising our two children and the usual housekeeping, bills etc...
I've not had an outlet for my stress during all this time and he's just been given more meds because he's really bad atm and feeling suicidal. I'm trying g to keep everything as normal as possible for the children and hiding my emotions because if DH sees I'm stressed he'll feel guilty. I just want to cry, scream, not have to put up with any of it sometimes. I have zero support from my mum or other family, no friends to turn to, they don't really bother with me any more. How am I supposed to take all this on without breaking???
I'll do anything for my DH, but I feel like I need a little help too, I hope that doesn't make me seem selfish

I'm in Wales, and google says there are no ccg's where I live. Any other suggestions? I'm not finding any help online, and pals is no good either

Would you feel comfortable complaining directly to the trust that runs the inpatient ward? Most trusts should have their complaints info on their websites.
Please do - crap nurses give the rest of us a bad name, we don't want bad practice either. Sorry you've experienced this.

Glad you're husband has been admitted for assessment, fingers crossed you'll get the help you all need. When I worked in inpatients the complaints process was to ask to speak to a senior nurse or ward manager who should give you a copy of the complaints policy for the trust. This should outline how you make a complaint. Every trust has a complaints department who you could ring for advice too. There should be PALS to act on your behalf too. Does your husband have a named nurse / key worker on the ward, you could ask to speak to them too as they should be responsible for his care and treatment on the ward and should also be able to guide you through the complaints process. Good luck

@SinnyLou thank you, I've talked with the ward deputy manager. Things are starting to come together and I'm a lot more informed on what's going on now

I'm glad things are coming together, I'm sure it's been a scary and very difficult experience for you.
