I'm sending you a nice, safe hug tonight Kacey
 as well as many positive thoughts for you and your friend. I know I'd be freaking out too.

You did do the right thing Kacey- have you been speaking with her at all since you made the call?

She texted me first and then wouldn't answer the phone so I called her husbands cell. He answered and they were fighting and physical (it sounded like it) and she was screaming at him to kill her or she would kill herself. And then he was trying to restrain her. He didn't know I was still on the phone and then I called 911.

Today my aunt showed me my cousin's medical reports when he died and it was so sad. They tried everything to save him and he just didn't make it this time. I am so overloaded.

I'm gonna call the hospital to see if she made it there. Or maybe call 911 back. I don't know.. What should I do?
I tried to call the DBT coaching line like 12 times but they won't answer it. |

Yes I have tried calling him but it just goes to voicemail. So I will just keep trying I guess.
The dbt on call person will probably see in the morning I called and call my t but what good will that do, it's done and over with. Stupid t's......... Sorry about that. I just get so frustrated, I used to be able to call my t in emergencies and now they changed it to rotating t's but it is like whenever I call no one is available. And when I call it is an emergency. At least to me. |

Sometimes they get physical when they fight. He was trying to stop her I guess from being out of control. She was screaming in the back ground that he choked her but he said that she kicked him in the privates.

You being triggered is totally reaonable and understandable.
Hopefully the POlice were able to step in and calm things down. If your friends husband is not answering, I would imagine that's what's going on. Can you call your friends cell or is it the same as her husbands? Are you feeling any calmer? |

Kacey, you did the right thing in getting the police involved. They will take care of your friend and her husband. Now you need to take care of yourself...
I don't know what works for you but when I am triggered.. I try to find something that self soothes me... a blanket to snuggle in... my favorite soft music...a stuffed animal... then I take deep breathes and try to relax and I really tell myself out loud... that they things I am feeling are from the past... the choking is not happening now... the violence is not happening here now... that is all in the past... I look around my surroundings and tell myself all the things i see that are good and safe... I say it all out loud... I don't know what works for you... I know its hard when we are triggered...but try to remember what works for you.... even if you don't have any faith it will work tonight...try it... say things out loud...let yourself hear the affirming words out loud... |

Well I already got so worked up and disoriented that I peed my bed. Now I have to change sheets and I will get my weighted blankie and my therapy dog that has my t's name and when I get my clean sheets on I will lay with them and probably just cry myself til I am exhausted and fall asleep. I will get wine and take my sleeping meds. And maybe grab my ipod too

Sleeping is a good idea. Hoping you'll get some good rest. You did a good thing tonight.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
