I think I’m having a breakdown

[ShellieL]

That’s it.
life is becoming unbearable.
I have great job. I was happily married until yesterday. It all came tumbling down.
I know I’ve lost it all now.
its 2am and I don’t know what to do.

He is your husband Shellie.
Trust me one thousand percent he will be grateful you have woken him up.
He cares about you.
Shake him awake, turn the light on. Tell him what’s happened.
Tell him how you feel right now.

the work trip is irrelevant,
if he was feeling how you feel, you’d be so happy he woke you up !

Even more important that you call the ambulance now. Sweetheart, what would your loved ones want, if you gave them the choice? Because I'd bet any money it would be that they could be there for you. You don't have to do this alone. Call 999. Please.

999 will get you an ambulance. Or your husband can take you?

You need to look after yourself, try not to worry about causing him upset. He has to know. Surely he will be more upset if you don't tell him and the pills do their worse?

Please keep talking so we know you are ok.

Hi Shellie, have you woken your husband up yet? Please do. He wants to help you.

I’m on the phone to 111.
im so angry with myself. I could have stayed calm

@ShellieL sweetheart, you're doing the right thing getting help, you really are.
I'm very proud of you for calling 111 x

That's good you have called.

Do you want to tell us more about what you mean about staying calm? Did it all build up too much and you said things you regret? That is understandable and forgivable. And human- we all say things in the heat of the moment occasionally that we regret.

Well done in calling 111.
Sending you love.

Well done Shellie!

make yourself a coffee, it’s all gonna be ok!

111 will be fantastic, be open with them.

I’m on my 2nd litre of water.
waiting for them to call me back.

Well done! You're being so brave.

I just reacted. Emotionally, childishly.
im so embarrassed.
this isn’t me, I don’t recognise who I am right now.
still waiting for them to call me back

Reacted to his daughter? Don't be hard on yourself. You sound as though you were pushed to it. And also sounds as though you don't do it often, so no need to be embarrassed.

You’re going to be OK. Try to be kind to yourself. You’re only human and doing the best you can do.

Plenty of water and hope they call soon.

That’s great you called 111. Please wake you your husband now. Everything can be worked out. You won’t will feel this awful forever.

Your husband can take you to hospital. We don’t want your liver to be damaged by the paracetamol.

It’s getting light @@ShellieL

The world is waking up and we’re all behind you xx

He’s taking me now

I am glad you are on your way.
You have done the right thing and you will get help soon. Please know that we are all wishing you well. Things will get sorted out and you will be glad you have asked for help.

Well done Shellie. You have done the right thing telling him.

You have done the right thing in waking your husband. I’m sure he’s bewildered and worried so give him time to catch up.

Don’t feel as though you are making him choose between you and his daughter, you just need a break from her. He can still visit her, and maybe they can agree a time slot that she can call him or vice versa. Unless he is completely blind to her nature I’m sure he will understand where you are coming from. If not and your relationship does end over it then at least you will have peace of mind.

good luck op and well done for taking the first step to feel better.

Lay the realities of this mess out to him.

His daughter is overstepping the mark, sees no boundaries, invades your space, shows you little respect, etc. It’s become impossible since her return and things either change now, or this whole thing collapses.

It won’t feel as bad once you’ve talked it through. Be prepared to walk away.

Yes. Wise words. Just arrived.

I'm thinking of you Shellie. X

Yes Shellie !! Well done love.
I have been awake since 4, waiting for you to say that!
You got this.
