Well after going threw the phone book I found a place that takes my insur. Eveyone else said no & one said not taking any new people at this time. My insur. sucks! Can't afford my husbands insur. til i go back to work,(feb. 7 ). I have a appointment on Feb. 1 , they said i'll be there for 2hrs. more of the same stuff asked so many times i could answer before they ask. The one thing that there going to ask is if i'm suicidal,And that would be YES. I'm affiad that i'm going to end up in the hospital again.

Kelly, how suicidal are you? Just random thoughts? Preoccupation? Thinking of a plan?
Do you need to go to the ER now?

Where are the pills? You need to give them all to your husband or a friend right now. They have to hold them so you do not act on your plan. I also think you must call your new doctors ASAP. You need to be seen now. If your husband wont help, get a friend to come over. This is important, Kelly.

Kelly, on a scale of zero to ten, with ten equaling unable to resist the urge to carry out your plan, and zero being having no desire to carry out your plan, where are you right now? Where on the scale have you been during the past 24 hours--highest and lowest, and most frequntly?

I've been on a scale of 5&8 in the past 24hrs. My husband will be home from work in 1hr. I'll try and hold out til he gets home.

I am glad to hear he is coming soon. You should not be alone at all. If you arent' able to set up a plan in which you are with someone all the time, and the medication is not accessible to you, then you should be in a hospital.

Kelly, hang in there.
Noa, bless your kind heart for being there for her.
Being bereft of other inspiration, I forwarded her the htmp page for the following:
(http://www.undoingdepression.com/) which will hopefully give her something to focus on while waiting for her hubby. I commend it to the rest of you, also. Some good info. there, some recently updated.

kelly,
is there any possibility you are able to call a crisis line. i have found them to be extremely helpful during those very low times when nothing offered hope. you need not give your name and you only need to tell them what you feel comfortable saying. people like husbands and friends often feel overwhelmed with a very depressed person, especially when they care dearly. with depression this severe, i also wonder if mental help therapy is an option. my therapist and pulled out of hell more times than i can count. suicide, while a definite option, will be your final one and i believe with the proper medication and professional supports, you will find relief. do try hard to fight these fatal tendencies.
