My wife signed herself into a mental hospital earlier today. I'm incredibly beside myself and I don't have a lot of people to turn to. I'm just completely lost. I knew this was coming but I was not prepared for the reality of not being able to see her and how pitifully small her voice sounded on the phone. I just feel shattered.

and I didn't even post this right so no one will see it anyway. welp

I know that must be incredibly hard, for her but also for you. I'm thinking of you and I hope things will be okay and if you want to talk about it we're all here.

I'm sorry, anon. As someone who was in a mental hospital at one point, I will say that it can help. I wouldn't have survived without it, and now I'm doing much, much better. I can't promise anything, but my experience says that mental hospitals are a good thing. I hope you and your wife feel better soon.

I know that this will help her. I HOPE that this will help her. She says she feels like a void that's slowly caving in and I can't help her. I know she needs medical intervention at this point. I just want her to be well.

[(Anonymous)]

That's exactly how I felt. Like I was being sucked into a black hole which I couldn't get out of. It can get better, I promise.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry anon. Do you have any close friends or family to help comfort you? Obviously you want to be there for her, but it's important that you have a support system too.

[(Anonymous)]

Her parents pretty much blame me for this happening. I'm disabled and unemployed so I don't help her enough with the finances and it's taken a toll on her emotionally, I know. But most days, I'm doing all I can do just to keep it together. But I do feel like I'm to blame here. I just wish my mom would call me back and maybe I'd stop feeling so alone.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry, that is awful of them. Please know it's not your fault. You can't have been expected to cure her (that's what the medical professionals are for) and your disability certainly is not the cause of her illness. I hope your mom call you back soon.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry anon, that sounds incredibly hard. You are not to blame for your wife's mental illness, and it's incredibly unfair of her parents to put that on you on top of the emotional trauma and stress you're already facing.

You say there's financial stress in your relationship. Perhaps, once you've got over the initial shock of this, you could take your mind off things by focusing on small actions you could do to relieve stress on the relationship. Things like writing up a new budget or researching what aid either of you might be eligible for could help you feel like your helping her and the relationship even when you can't help her mental health.

Good luck to you both.

*Hugs* You are not alone.

[(Anonymous)]

This must be tough, OP. Please know there's people hoping things get better for you and your wife. Prayers/good vibes/positive thoughts your way. And hugs/a shoulder to lean on if you want it.

I really hope things get better, anon.
