Awww no Helen 😔 Maybe it's best to try and start therapy that way you can open up about how your feeling that will help,,,it will never feel the same without him because that's who you have always been with and been used to especially with you panick attacks but you will be fine your strong enough when your having one always remember to take deep breaths inhale through your nose for 4 hold for 1 and out for 4 that will help calm you down,,,,try yoga I kno you probably won't feel Upto it just yet but in time that's suppose to help.. it must be so awful to loose your husband your soul mate but I'm sure he will want you to carry on and be strong xx

Sorry for your loss at such a young age.
I would suggest with urgency that you talk to your GP and anxiety also the low mood, depression that your are suffering from.
First let me explain. If you are so low and thinking of Suicide it is important you call the NHS Helpline on telephone 111 UK. You can also go into A and E and they can arrange back up and a possible appointment to see the local Crisis Group.
During the day you can also talk to your GP, when you call explain you need an emergency appointment. Explain to Him your problems and concerns.
For all of above make a list of your feelings, fears depression and concerns before you call to save time.
I tried to commit Suicide a long time ago and believe me when I say it is not the patient who feels the worse it is those who you leave behind, your Sons will be unable to understand why you would do such a thing. They will feel themselves hollow and numb at their loss and extreme sadness, it could also effect their personal lives and outlook. they
All I know is they are never gentle with my resusitation and you will understand why in A and E are so tired at the end of a shift. Do not get me wrong after the attempt I was seen by a Crisis Team and introduced to a CPN who helped me com to terms with what I had done and the anger my family members had, they looked at my attempt as a blackmail and I am still watched like a hawk.
I had a depressive problem several months ago and I walked out the house, my Wife instantly called the Crisis Team as they were concerned what I may do.
They sent a Team down and they tried to wait for my return after a few hours they departed and gave my wife instructions to call the Police in a further two hours, I returned in one and arrangements again were started again for another treatment plan. The main problem I had was I had developed a Conjenital Short Term Memory loss with Depression caused by my medical disability.
It has taken four months to start CBT again and as they had to get me to a stage where in their eyes would not try another suicide attempt again. My walking out the house was for a time out, they do not trust you, neither does your family after a suicide attempt serious or not.
Start my first normal treatment next week if you would call it that. I explain this to show the problems the living have when the word suicide is mentioned.
Talk to your family about your/their loss you all need to talk and family wait for someone to make the first move. You need to accept your loss by talking with family and friends. I do not feel you husband would want you to feel as low as now
I am always around with people here to talk
