Waiting for crisis team to call me

My care team are shut and I'm in crisis. I keep having urges to hurt my husband. I'm so scared. I've never had urges like this before. I'm hiding away in my bedroom keeping away from everyone while I feel like this.

I know what to do if the urges get too much, I'm to call 111 option 2 again so don't worry about my safety. I just need to talk and keep distracted while I wait.

I keep thinking my husband is poisoning my tea and I'm doing very triggering trauma therapy right now. So it's no wonder it's all reached crisis point.

Life feels fake like it's all one big simulation and if I die ill be free. It also means since everything is fake there's no real consequences to my actions. My brains moving to fast I can't hold onto any thoughts.

Doubt it

It’s dire, isn’t it?

No she can't thats not a thing

Someone I know did do this or said she did whilst we were in the same psychiatric unit.

Which country are you in as you certainly can’t do that in the UK unless it is a private facility?

England

Dh came to me once he out the kids in bed. He's not mad. He's glad I called. Im not having a stupid bath out if spite. But I ate some dinner and feel a bit calmer. My thoughts are slower now.

That's a great update OP. Stupid bath idea - I love your rebellious attitude! I'm glad your DH is there for you. Eating and sleeping well (if you can) will hopefully really help with you MH so it's good that you felt able to eat something. Glad your thoughts have calmed a bit now.

Morning OP, how are you today?
Did you manage some sleep?
If not, do you have chance to rest today - you must be shattered xx
