Hi Peter
Your story has brought tears to my eyes. I have had post natal depression, and I planned my suicide. I was very sick and was hospitalised for 5 weeks. I got better and I completely recovered my mind. I have had to stay on antidepressants for 30 years but the meds and my psychiatrist kept me stable. I dont know if your partner has post natal depression, but I just want to reassure you that these things can and do happen. The important thing is she is being taken care of and once in the hospital system, I feel confident she will get all the best help available.
It is a powerless feeling for you, to have this thrust upon you, and its hard to trust in the medical professionals to take over your partners care, when she has never needed it before. But for you and your families sake, please trust them to help her and believe that this is an illness which she will recover from.
Keep in touch. You have come to a forum of very caring and empathetic people. We want to support you.
Hugs

I agree with everything you said and emphasis on the caring people and empathetic people. I found this site to be refreshing and welcoming. I hope, Peter, you do post more and see how people will react and help you out. Just a quick hint, try and give your discussion an interesting name as people can relate to those kinds of rooms. I hope you're not offended, I'm just trying to help. So, if you don't get a good response here, just rename the discussion and cut and paste the information you put in about your partner and that experience. Does this make sense?
Hoping you and your partner worked things out and she's doing well.
Warm regards,
Frustrated
Dear Peter, I'm so sorry to hear what you and your partner are going through. Depression, and particularly post natal depression, has no rhyme or reason and can hit so suddenly. Abella's comments are so helpful. It's terrible what she and you have experienced but she can and will get better with good treatment. She's a very lucky lady to have someone like you to care. With help from the hospital and support of her family she will improve. Fate intervened with that lovely caring lady who found her and helped her, and now she has a chance to get the right treatment. Things will only get better hon. Big hug xx
Hi Peter, I am so sorry to hear what you and your partner are going through. Your partner must of been in a bad place to be on that bridge, she is in a secure hospital and will get treatment for this illness. Your support for her is invaluble, and to look after the children is of importance. I hope you have family to support you through this difficult time. Please keep with this forum and we can support you with your fears of this awful illness. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Best wishes.
Elizabeth.
