Feeling a bit lost.

[Noyb]

Hi, new to this but thought I needed to do it. Feeling lost, anxious and sad. Friday my partner attempted suicide. Friend found her. We had an argument, I asked for space 2 days then she attempted suicide. Currently in hospital. She's now sending nasty texts blaming me for what has happened. Threatened to do it again if she's home alone. I've organised other accommodation for myself and my daughter when she gets out. I don't want my daughter around her. Is it selfish to end the relationship now. Ive just had enough. Haven't eaten or slept properly since it happened. Feeling overwhelmed.

Hi Noyb,

Welcome to the forum. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this difficult time. It’s understandable that you’re feeling overwhelmed and anxious right now. It’s important to take care of yourself during this time by getting enough rest, eating well, and seeking support from friends and family.

It’s not selfish to end a relationship if it’s no longer healthy for you or your daughter. You have a right to prioritize your own well-being and safety. Remember, you are not alone, and there are resources available to help you and your partner. Crisis services are available 24/7:
Lifeline 13 11 14 (www.lifeline.org.au)
Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467 (https://www.suicidepreventionaust.org/)

Warmly, Mark
