My spouse is becoming more and more frustrated with my mental state. He tries to be kind and supportive, but I can tell it upsets him to see me this way. He doesn’t want to take me to the hospital because we don’t have money, and I can’t afford to take time off of work at all.
I don’t know what to do. I’m scared, sick, exhausted but can’t sleep, and I feel like I need to go to a mental hospital.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am so sorry that you are going through this,when I was sick I was sent to the mental health unit for two weeks the bad part is I had to stay overnight but in my case I had a nervous breakdown.Dont mean to sound mean but do you have any insurance,?Because if you do they should help to pay for it.I know the feeling.of not being able to sleep.I can hardly sleep myself.Or perhaps insteqad of a hospital stay you can find a doctor where u would only have to go intohis or hers office to talk to them,I had to do that .it is no picnic.if u need a friend to talk to I will be here if that helps any.
