I am not sure you are taking this as seriously as you should. I know that can be easy to do for some because it's hard to understand mental illness in others.

You need to get your wife help right now. You do not wait. You do not worry about insurance cards. You do not wait for votes at the condo assc. You get your wife help NOW. If she has already tried to harm herself she will try again. Not tomorrow. Not next week. NOW.

Imagine coming home to you wife after she has harmed herself for good knowing that YOU could have helped prevent it?

Now, I urge you to get her to a hospital ER. Tell them that she has already tried to harm herself and is in need of emergency mental health services.

I hope I am not coming off rude or condescending because that is not how I mean it. I just feel this need to be FIRM so that you understand.

Keep us updated.
