Hi Tabby
oh dear, i am sorry you had to go through that. i hope in the psych ward they will be able to help your hubby with his compliance issues, that can be difficult. it is good that you are helping yourself with meds.
i am bipolar and i also post in the bipolar forum here. whether or not your husband wishes to join, you are welcome to join us yourself. we have folks there who are bipolar, relatives of bipolar and also who just have similar difficulties (depression, anxiety) that post. here is the link:
Neurotalk Support Groups - Bipolar Disorder
meanwhile, this (Survivors of Suicide) forum is the right place to talk more in depth about suicide. it does come up as a concern in the Bipolar forum as well. feel free to participate in either or both forums to whatever extent you wish.
welcome to Neurotalk and hang in there.
