I went and saw my wife today in the state hospital and just wanted to let you know things are turning around for her. She was much better today. She has decided she doesn't want to end her life now and wants to get all the help and information she can from this place. I talked to all but one member of her team and they think she has had a breakthrough. Her main problem seems to be the lack of love and acceptance from her parents. I will update this more tomorrow, or later today since it's almost 5am here. Thanks for caring. TEXASCRITTER

Just make sure that this isn't her way of getting her close observation lifted so that she can be left alone to make another attempt. In my experiences, this is a ploy commonly used.
Congratulations if this is a genuine step forward.
Sorry to sound doom and gloom, but its best to be prepared.

TTFN :wave:

Thanks for answering. I'm really good at reading her and i think she is sincere. I've been wrong before. All I can do is go with my gut. They did remove the suscide watch on her and gave her more privaliges. I visited with her 5 hours and at one time or another A member of her teams was in the room and from the conversations we had that was pretty spific and she had no idea what we would ask her she showed all the signs of being out of danger to herself. Lets pray it's for real. Thanks again for the heads up. TEXASCRITTER

Texas, I'm so glad to hear this! I hope you are taking good care of yourself right now! Get some rest for yourself! How long do you think she'll be in the hospital? Well, please keep us all updated! God Bless! Kym

Goody's happy to share in this good news;) I am glad that your wife is responding to the treatment....yes having some caution is still wise but it looks as if she may be having the turn around you've been looking for.

Rest up and perhaps prepare your home for when she returns. Get rid of all unnecessary meds or lock them up. It is just a precaution and will be something set in place for her safety and your peace of mind.

Thanks for sharing the good news.....let us know how things go ~ Goody:wave:

Texascritter,
thank GOD for the good news. you'd know if it was a ploy to get out of the hospital. you know her better than the doctors do that's for sure.
you've seen her this way before.
maybe some type of spiritual awakening would help her and I don't mean going to church and praying. I mean soul searching. maybe they'll put her on some meds to get over the depression and once she starts seeing life again and her happiness is coming back. we know there's absolutely nothing we can do about the way we were raised. she's angry I'm sure.
her anger is turning into depression.
I have a similar thing about my history and was just told by my therapist that I have a right to be angry. I didn't have good role models to teach me so I;ve made quite a few mistakes growing up into adult hood and adult hood too.
I DON'T want to continue blaming my parents. they are gone now off this earth. I miss them at times and wish my mother was stilll here.
I pushed all those bad things into somewhere I didn't have to face on a daily basis not realizing that it was eating me up inside.
until I face these issues, only then can I truely heal.
life is hard. sometimes life is easy for some. we got the bad end of the stick or bad deal of the hands, but we can NOW change that but you can't be in a state of depression and have to work on that first.

I am so happy to hear your update and that you thought of us who were worried about you and your wife. thank you for posting a follow up with us, and I hope you continue to.
