Kelly,
Staying out of the hospital when you are sick and need to be there makes about as much sense as not putting oil in your car because you can't afford it. If you drive the car without oil, it dies, very quickly.
You need services, and you need them last night. Hospitals have programs for people who can't afford them. If you are in crisis, at worst, they will have you involuntarily admitted just to get you there. If you are in the ER, and your husband refuses to allow you in the hospital, that's probably what would happen.
If you took pills intending to take your life, not succeeding at it doesn't make you healthier than if you had.
I am really worried here. You need NEED to take care of yourself hon. Even if you save the money on the hospital, the alternative isn't cheap either. Print some of these messages out for your guy.... lots of us have been where you are, and it's a very dangerous place.
You NEED to be talking to someone NOW. Call your emergency services dept. or mental health crisis line, or local suicide hotline. If you are feeling the same way now, go to the emergency room, NOW. You can tell your husband that THE HOSPITAL can decide if you need to be there. They aren't going to admit people who aren't sick enough.
Seriously girl, I am very concerned. There's only one you, and I want you to stay around for a long while.Dee.
