How do i stay sane ...?!


Question: How do i stay sane !.!.!.!?
i am trying to stay strong and level headed while my husband is being treated for suicidal intentions!. i can only see him 3 days a week for an hour a day and the distance is driving me crazy!. when i talk to him or see him i try my best to sound "normal" but i think he can tell im hurting!. i am very proud of him and glad that he has agreed to get help!. and it is a sacrifice we will have to make for now!. but we are newly weds and have spent very little time apart!. i want him to get help and get better but its hard to be apart especially with our 4 yr old asking to see daddy or talk to him!. all he knows is his daddy isnt feeling well and he has to stay at the doctor!. i think it makes it harder trying to keep calm with him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Acknowledge the fact that your husband is getting the proper treatment and you are helping him!. By going there and supporting him you are actually helping him!. When someone has suicidal tendencies that need to know that there are people out there that love them and support them in his healing!. Obviously you are a very caring wife and you must remain strong for him!. Stay sane knowing you are supporting your love and helping him!. Stay sane knowing that this sacrifice is not permanent!. Soon he will be with you again, after he gets the proper treatment!. Remain strong and sane for him and yourself! Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have to think about the trade-off!. Being away from him for a while now is better than the alternative of his not getting treatment and being away from him forever if he committed suicide!.

I'm sure he knows you're hurting!. You might look into some counseling yourself!. There may be a family support center or a social worker at the facility he's in who could set you up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just keep this in mind!. Your child and beloved husband need all of your strength and sanity in order to get through their current phase in life!. Think of this and hope will give you a new source of strength that you didn't know it existed in you!. My sincere thoughts and feelings are with you and your family!. God bless you all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Analyze the problem at hand!. Do a systematic way of solving this!. Find the problem:solution:fix , then you should be able to answer all the questions in between!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Jut think that you will see him soon when he is better and be thankful he got the help!.!.!.!.!.!.!.xWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sorry you are going thru this!. It is difficult!. I don't see anything good about being anything but honest!. Your husband might be profoundly depressed and seem somewhat vacant, but he still knows your feelings!. He did not turn stupid, if anything, he's having a difficult time communicating and thinking clearly!. Trying to deny how you feel isn't apt to help!. Say what you've said here, that you are proud that he is summoning the strength for treatment!. Admit that it's hard, but also that it is far less difficult than any other alternative!. He will overcome this, even if it seems impossible at the moment!. It just might take a little time!. Over the course of a lifetime, it all comes out in the wash!. There will be times when you need him to be the rock, and need him to be there for you and his child whenever that happens!. You have a better idea of how much it will help him to hear these things!.

As for you, find a support group or see a counselor!. What you are dealing with goes beyond what most ppl do!. Doing so will also give you greater insight into how others cope as well as give you a support system of real live ppl!. Check the hospital!. They might have something!. Contact NAMI, they or DBSA, probably have something in your area!. (You can google those acrynyms!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

PRAY 2 GOD 4 strength; always remember that HE never closes one win dow w/o first opening another!!! If HE puts you through in, HE promises 2 pull you through it!!!!!!!!!!!!!.!.!.!. You are loved: by your little one, your man, GOD, and we that have taken time to read & respond!.
Tell your little one that Dad is in a hospital where he is getting help to feel better; hopefully this way the child won't be afraid of going to see the doctor {the little one may fear if he/she goes to a doctor then the child may not see you for a long time as well, and we don't want that!}!.
SMILE & LOL even if you don't feellike it; a good LOL from the tummy is good, healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
