Hello, my name is Rob, my wife has suffered with her mental health for a long time and was admitted to ICU after taking an overdose.
My wife is recovering very slowly, is sectioned for her own safety and to hopefully give time to heal and recover, along with giving an opportunity to see if medication may be helpful. After years of being on a concoction of medications that didn’t appear to be working and also asking on several occasions for a medication review.
Can I ask about support for myself and our daughter? Is anyone aware of help, perhaps from a support group/network, or perhaps a charity?
Thank you for allowing me to join this group and share my story so far. Sending lots of love and hugs to you all.
Rob.
