I hope maybe you can get some practice here where you can talk to people who do know to some degree and can empathize. Please be safe and take care of yourself.

My husband also has bipolar disorder, and we are both well aware of how serious things can get. I've had to call 911 for him in the past. In therapy, we had both discussed what needed to be done in an emergency. He didn't follow through. I don't know why except he was angry. Maybe a death wish. I don't know.
