If she is threatening harm to herself, you need to get her in. If she threatening suicide every day, and you have no where else to turn, take her to the ER. She may resist but it could save her life.
Hi---ur a strong person and it sounds like ur one of the few that took wedding vowels (for better of worse) serious. I'm one of the many Americans w/ no insurance. I agree w/ Dark Heart X, help is available. I don't fall into any category mention by the other poster. Each state should have a department of mental health. I called mine and United Way. I see a pdoc and T....it's all based on my income. I was also able to find a pharmacy program too.

Resources: Department of mental health, NAMI (www.nami.org) and DBSA(www.dbsa.org).
