wife tried to commit suicide and now im am thinking bout it

i have never felt like this before my wife tried to kill her self wed. by taking 30 vicodin and a full bottle of extra strength tylonol. she is currently at the hospital and will be fine we think but since this happened and i can be around her im losing my mind we ahve never been away from each other in5 years and we are each others world. they dont think she is getting better because she only seems happy when i visit she cant eat or sleep. and all this is causeing me not to be able to eat or sleep too they are wanting to hold her for 30 days and i dont know if i can live that long without her i have never had suicidal thoughts before until now and i dont know what to do. the more i think about her being unhappy there and scared there the more i get upset cause i cant comfort her and the more depressed i get. i cant say anything to anyone cause im scared theyll put me in the hospital then i will neever get to see her what can i do im losing it

Im so sorry that you and your wife are going through this. I can't imagine what that must be like but you have to be strong for her. It sounds like she really needs you and wants to be near you as much as you want to be with her. You have to be there for her and let her know you need her too. Spend as much time at the hospital with her as you can and maybe when you are home and can't be with her you could speak to a psychiatrist. I have depression and I know what those feelings are like. When I think of death I think about what I would put everyone through that loves me. I can't imagine losing someone close to me and you should think about that because you have to be there when your wife comes home! Be strong for her : )

Your wife needs you to be strong for her and you.  She is in good hands, and hopefully will get the help she needs so that neither of you have to endure what you are now.  Her doctor will keep you informed, and maybe you could keep a jouranl of your feelings while she is away, to give to her when she gets out.  It would be a beautiful love letter that I'm sure she would cherish forever.  It will also help you emotionally to put your thoughts and feelings on paper, it's very good therapy.  In the end, you feel better, and she will love reading of your love, loneliness, and mising her.  It will always be something she can read when she may be feeling a little down or alone.
