You need to tell your husband. He will be glad you did—he seems to love you very much. Hang on!

Go to the emergency room if you need to—don’t hesitate!

Wake your husband up and tell him what you are telling us , You need support and he will be there for you I’m sure

Best wishes to you

Tell someone. Get your phone and call the first friend who cares about you. Your husband would be best but, call someone.

Thanks for posting. We all care. If you can't relax call the mental help line again. If you need more help dial for an ambulence. You huband doesn't know what is going on inside of you. I think it was selfish to tell you to relax. But, it was a great first step. Keep seeking treatment. It will be worth it.

I'm really glad that you woke your husband. Allow him to help you through this. I'm sorry this is such a tough time for you.

Sounds like your husband is a normal drinker. They have no idea what it's like. Call AA central, they can help you. Were you able to get some sleep?

You are an adult. You don't need your husbands permission for self-care. Instead of asking him if you can go, how about telling him that you are going.

In the meantime don't forget about the AA hotline. Why not give them a call. Someone will be there now.

DA. Do you have a key worker if these are ongoing mental health issues? I know your husband is your full time carer, but mental health issues themselves are complex and he will not be equipped to manage these episodes. Just stopping you from hurting yoyrself is not the same as managing your mental health as a professional would do. Please get an emergency appointment with your doctor so they can try to get you the help you need.

PS calling Samaritans to talk when you feel desperate into night might be a good call, as they're trained to deal with this situation (unlike hubby) and are less likely to be so dismissive.

Hi DarkAsylum, my partner suffers from mental health issues, too. I think you need to consult your GP and be honest about how you are feeling? You've not supplied much information on any medication you may be using. I don't think compounding your problems with alcohol is going to help and I suspect that you know that. I hope your problems lift and you find some peace.

Just a reach out to say hello and I hope you are feeling a bit better today DA--
I think an extra appointment during the holiday time to your doctor for some support
might be a good idea.
It's really tough during the holidays, isn't it?
