Hi Everyone, 

My partner has made an attempt on her life today, i wont know if she is ok till tomorrow, im so so scared of losing her, she was doing so so well, and she is really struggling, i feel like i have let her down and not done enough for her. 

it came as a shock, it has been a long time since she has tried this. im scared if she survives she will keep trying. 

i want to save her and would do anything for her.

i feel so so lost and alone

Hi @Former-Member  and @Ali11 

i am coping, i had a really long night, i thought i was going to wake up and not here from my partner again, it felt like someone knocked the wind out of me, im so so scared of losing her, she is ok today, she feels guilty and ashamed, im trying my best to support her and be non udgmental, i love her so so much

[Ali11]
