[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

In hindsight, I guess I should have called 911 today.

My mom arrived this week to help with the baby so at least we're not totally alone. She witnessed the episode today and encouraged him to go with me to the hospital but obviously that had no effect.

A few weeks ago my husband walked into the mental health facility at Fort Belevoir (he's a vet) and told them he was going to kill himself. I'm not sure why they didn't admit him then, but that's when he started weakly therapy sessions.  Seems to me like they should have started meds then too. Again, I worry I'm not getting the full story. He also started attending group counseling sessions last week. I worry that it's not enough though and that he needs emergency help.[/quote]

Agree he needs more help. You need to contact his mental health facility and try speaking with his therapist or case manager. And yes, you're almost certainly not getting the whole story from him. Is it possible he has PTSD?[/quote]
