My wife attempted suicide last night

[Anonymous]

I started to suspect troll but after OP posted that he went to work during all of this, now I'm fairly certain it's a troll

I wanted her in inpatient, she fucking NEEDS inpatient. And they're sending her home. As happy as I am she is alive- and believe me I am deleriously happy- I don't want her at home right now. I am so afraid the next time neither of us will be so lucky.

OP did say she is coming home tomorrow about an hour ago. I read that as Friday.

I know nothing of suicide attempts, but I wish the OP all the hope possible that this will work out. I do like the ER Nurse's advice for getting her better treatment now.

Fake.

This is her 3rd attempt. I am out of time off. I am out of FMLA, all 12 weeks. No one has agreed with me coming to work but I just needed the normalcy of it. At work I can be on auto pilot. I need that right now. All of you calling fake and troll and whatnot, I can not force you to take ?My seriously. I don't care what you think. For the PPs who have given advice, thank you.
And yes, tomorrow - as in Friday- she is coming home.

OP, I assume you've called your therapist about this? Spoken to the social worker and case manager at the hospital? What have they told you?

OP, what did you do the last two times when this happened? What kind of help, if any, did she get? Also, how does she get her hands on 6 months of sleeping pills at once? Doesn't her doctor, whom prescribed them, know that she is prone to suicide attempts? Does he even know? Do doctors prescribe seeping pills to suicidal people? Honest questions.

Op just said that Walmart gave her a 6 month supply of sleeping pills on a 30 day script. No way would that happen and if it did the pharmacist would lose his license.

That's not what I am asking but I see your point. I am wondering what kind of doctor prescribes sleeping pills to a suicidal person? Does that happen? This is a troll.

There's no way they could think 700 pills is an accident. This is actually a case where u would use your right to SUE -- threaten a lawsuit, make some noise, be the squeaky wheel.
Refuse her discharge.

700 pills is more than 2 years of sleeping pills. You can take that in one sitting?

OP probably understands this, but what would happen is that if he refused discharge, he would be responsible for the hospital bill, which would be astronomical, and the only way he can sue is if he has damages, ie, if his wife is successful. Even, then, it's next to impossible to be successful because of the contributory negligence laws. Hospitals are so used to people threatening lawsuits that it isn't going to phase them. Everyone does it.

This detail, plus the comment from Jeff in Website Feedback, makes me question this thread.

There are some technical things indicating this is a troll.

troll regardless but op needs help. trolling even on suicide indicates something is going wrong?

and that would be only 180 pills, not 700.
