Until you are able to enter the out-patient program, why don't you ask your husband for some emotional support. When I survived a serious suicide attempt my husband withdrew emotionally, he told me (later) he was so afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing, so afraid of losing me that he just froze. Many people lack the skills of supporting a suicidal person- particularly a survivor like yourself. Much of my anger towards my husband (I think this must be common) was projected anger from myself, I felt like a complete failure. Why don't you bring him with you to therapy, and I'm sure the therapist can suggest ways that he can help you and perhaps then your anger will lessen. Take care, judy
