Suicidal

[Hsctb]

What would you expect from your dh if you were feeling suicidal?

Firstly just to listen.

He would stop what he was doing and listen. He would stay off work. I am very blessed with a wonderful dh. I'm guessing though by your question that you have not been supported? Please seek help via your GP or Samaritans or local chaplaincy service.

I'd expect him to call 111 for access to the mental health crisis team and assist with taking me too appointments and supporting with any and all relevant treatment.

I'd also expect him to take the lions share of the housework whilst I got better.

Truly suicidal? I'd expect him to get me immediate medical help.

Having said that, I've known some people for whom that's not easy and they can feel suicidal very often.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.
We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website
or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek real-life help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Very best wishes from MNHQ.

Firstly op, it gets better. Hard as that seems now it gets better and there is light if you get some support. Go speak to your gp or your mom or a friend. Anyone.

Ref your question. Mine told me I'd be fine... He's now an exdp.
I specifically asked him to remove medication form the house as I was having an extreamly hard pnd episode and he just said don't be ridiculous.

It's scary for a partner to here but you deserve help. I'd expect a loving person to listen nd then help me get help.
