Knowing when to ask.


I don't really have much to say right now, I feel like throwing up. I am very thankful my husband is getting the help he needs, but I feel so out of control. I'm not used to not having him here to care for, and I can't figure out how I feel about it yet. I keep thinking maybe this whole thing is my fault somehow. Maybe I pushed him too hard, I just want the best for him. I have trouble being completely confident that he is receiving the best care when he asked for therapy for months and it took him saying he didn't want to be alive to get it. Thats not okay, not in the slightest. I almost saw this coming, he just hasn't been his "normal," but I couldn't place it. I'm thankful he knew when he hit his limit, and he knew that I would do whatever I could to get him some help, I'm thankful he asked.

I'm so sorry for all the you guys are going through. Thank heavens he knew when to ask and spoke up. And what a blessing you are to him, to do whatever it takes to help him. Please know that you are, and have been, in my thoughts and prayers.

Its sad,that you have to be at your worst complete breaking point to get a Dr's attention, I blame this on them, for being completely neglegant, its almost like you had to tomp your foot and scream and say Hello, do you not get it?? Kristle you have done everything you can, now its time for Drks to really get their crap straight, and forNate to fig out some things for himself as well. Their is a hotline, I'm going to look up and email it to you, and its for veterans who are "on the verge" just know you are not alone, wishing I was there to help you :)

I'm sorry you are going through such a hard time. I'm here anytime you need me. I'm right across the bridge. ;-) I too am glad your husband is getting the help he needs. Hopefully he can do this so when he gets out you all can have the tools necessary to.deal with this life that we lead. You're a very strong woman Kristol.
