[Gentle Lamb]

Someone we care for was attempting to end their life a few days ago, but thankfully they were caught in time and prevented on carrying it through. But, now I AM terribly upset about it! My therapist is out on Medical Leave and only working part time. I am feeling like I'm caught in the rapids and going down stream.

At first I was shocked, but now I am really angry! Needing to talk, but my spouse prevents me ( he was the one who caught the person) and is busy processing his share and doesn't want to be bothered by my issues. So I am a wreck! I already have ptsd which is not being managed and now this, it is too much!!!

I came here looking for someone with knowledge of these things, but feel completely lost! Is this the right place!?!?! If not then where?

You are in the right place Gentle Lamb, that's for sure and I really understand how hard is to deal with PTSD, for me it's a sort of heavy cross to carry daily, but I refuse to lose hope.

IMO and if I were in your situation, I would search a new psychotherapist who can offer me all the support during the time of distress https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists

I'm so happy your significant person was rescued from themselves. I can imagine that has a huge impact on your sense of reality. It's a pretty big deal. I'm sorry you're going through it. I dated someone who shockingly committed suicide a short time later and it totally threw me. My father committed suicide when I was about 23 y.o. I was so overcome by grief the suicide aspect didn't seem to matter at the time, though it haunted me later and there was a period of anger about it. In any case the experience can bring up a lot. I hope it helps you being here, but I think you need a real person to speak to face to face that's not your husband. I hope you can.
