General About To Lose My Mind

I finally made up my mind to try to talk to N tonight after work to let him know how I'm feeling (over extended, stretched too thin, stressed to the max). Right after I get to work this afternoon I get a text that basically said if I don't hear from him by Saturday he's always loved me and to say goodbye to our friends for him. I'm scared and on the verge of tears and pissed all at the same time. I know I mentioned in my diary that I've list his mothers phone number and he's not responding to anything. I'm worried about how, if he does something incredibly stupid, how it will affect his son already knowing Ill be devastated.

I don't know what to do!

Oh, I am sorry Kahlan.

I can only say what I would do and that is to call emergency services. The police possibly? I imagine it depends on the way it works in a particular country.

If he is getting any treatment I would also take steps to let his treatment providers know. Do you know the therapist or psychiatrists name or the clinics name? If not then his dr may be the next best option.

Take a deep breathe too. You can only do so much. Maybe sit down and have a coffee or something to settle yourself a bit.

He goes monthly to the va for therapy. I don't know his t's name. When I get home I'm going to hunt for his moms # I'm sure I have it somewhere. Just rght now trapped at work and feeling helpless.:(
 
Remember you are only human. What he will do he will do. It's an awful position to be in.

If you report it to the police they may be able to access the correct contact numbers.

Can you contact the VA and ask to be put in touch with the relevant person?
 
Been trying to keep occupied with work (not working) posted in my supporters diary, and currently having a love hate relationship with google. No news I'm taking as good news right now. Add I've not gotten out of bed today because I'm sick now :s Maybe a nyquil nap will make it better :'(
 
Passed 48 hours. I'm back in freak out mode. I hate feeling powerless!

Did you consider the police Kahlan? Someone being a danger to themselves or someone else is a legitimate reason for action. If he is saying what he is he needs in patient treatment.
 
Thats awful. I am glad it has been done. You have done everything you could possibly do.

Is there anyone you can have come to stay with you to help you? Distraction is the best thing for times like this. If you can then do something really comforting for yourself.

Sending you much support.
 
I'm home alone for the weekend. I keep trying to read but end up back on the computer web searching for anything :/ I have a couple friends that I'm at least messaging back and forth that are trying to distract me at least.

Also thank you
