My husband is done, he can't deal with the bipolar swings anymore. He wants out. I'm in shock and don't know what to do. He gave me an ultimatum and I blew it and self medicated with alcohol. About a month ago I was hospitalized for a total of 18 days in three facilities back to back to back. I was released feeling I was ready to begin a new chapter in my life and unfortunately I've declined to the point I.m thinking about admitting myself. I don't feel safe. I don't know where to turn.

It sounds like you know what you need to do and that is to go to the hospital. If you don't feel safe you need help.
We're here to listen but we can't give you the help it sounds like you need.

I would go to the local ER at this point.

I am so sorry you are going through this. You must feel very alone right now, but you have us here to talk to. If you actually do not feel safe, please go to the ER.

I agree. If you don't feel safe, you need to go to the hospital. Also, please try to avoid alcohol. I know that's easier said then done, but it just makes everything so much worse.
I'm sorry about your husband. Do you have any other family or friends you can turn to? |

It sounds like you need to go to the hospital and stay away from alcohol. You can worry about the situation with your husband once you feel safe.
I know my H finds it hard to deal with my mental health issues. You are not alone in that respect.

I’m so sorry about this
 I usually don’t like to recommend “hospital” (it’s very unlikely to help me, mostly due to location... ) but please do go to ER if you don’t feel safe. And we are here for you

I make it through the weekend due to my amazing friends, unfortunately i did have a few glasses of wine as I didn't want them to see the pain I'm burdened by. I have an appointment tomorrow with my MH provider. I don't know why I think this will make any changes to my mood but I need something to look forward to but hopes are not very high but theirs always a chance. My physical pain distracts a little bit but it's debilitating. My GP increased my gabapentin by double and gave me a referral to my pain specialist but nothing to relieve the pain. I understand the problem with people becoming addicted to opiods but I'm pretty sure that 10 pills will cause me to become reliant on them or cause me to turn to heroin as so many do. i would love a few days pain free.
I do feel safe right now but who know what tomorrow will bring. Thank you all for the support.
