Whilst in the hospital I saw a mental health advocate. We talked about our families and he gave me insight into what my husband may have been going through.
Through all of this I worried about how my husband was but it never crossed my mind to think what he thought about me being unwell and more importantly suicidal.
The mental health advocate said if he was in my husband’s shoes he would be deeply upset that his wife didn’t want to be alive for him and child. I felt bad that I never thought about how husband felt of me being suicidal and not wanting to be with him anymore.
It was from this conversation that my eyes opened up to the affect I was having on our lives and I knew I had to focus on getting better.
