[quote=Anonymous][quote]Does your husband have a therapist and/or psychiatrist, OP? Or just a general MD prescribing his Xanax?

He started seeing a therapist 5 weeks ago and I guess this week also saw a psychiatrist. But he doesn't share the details with me so that's just my best guess.

If you feel he's suicidal you should contact his therapist/psychiatrist and let them know. They will be able to help. This is not an uncommon sort of emergency for mental health professionals. Remember, they are bound by confidentiality not to disclose to you but you're free to talk to them and should do so. They need to know your husband is having suicidal thoughts.[/quote]

I've been where you are.  I suspect your DH isn't telling you the whole truth.  He either isn't seeing a therapist/psychiatrist or he's not being truthful in what's going on.  Your family is in crisis because of your DH's mental health and since your DH is unwilling/unable to triage, you have to.

1.  Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1 (800) 273-8255 and ask for assistance in developing a plan
2.  Contact the Mental Health Crisis Center of your jurisdiction to find out what resources they offer.
3.  Find an individual counselor for yourself.  You need assistance in working through this.
