How can I help my husband after a suicide attempt?
After he got home from the hospital he was angry, then for a time wonderful. Now he is depressed and hopeless again.

I'm thankful to read your husband found care and that his suicide attempt wasn't successful.  While he was hospitalized, and prior to his release, your husband would've been provided in writing a self-care action plan. This typically includes things like committing to a contract 'not to harm' and what to do if he felt overwhelmed by his anger, depression, and hopelessness (e.g. call 911, call therapist, go to nearest hospital emergency department). Additionally, his protocol would've provided instructions for his taking medication(s) as directed, having a follow-up appointment(s) with his psychiatrist/psychologist/clinical social worker, and participating in some form of small group support. If your husband's struggling as you describe, and you are feeling overwhelmed or frightened for his (your) safety, I'd encourage you to seek immediate assistance.
Setelah dia pulang ke rumah dari rumah sakit, dia merasa marah, lalu untuk sementara waktu merasa luar biasa. Sekarang dia kembali depresi dan putus asa.
Saya bersyukur membaca suami Anda mendapatkan perawatan dan bahwa upaya bunuh dirinya tidak berhasil. Selama dia dirawat di rumah sakit, dan sebelum dia keluar, suami Anda pasti telah diberikan secara tertulis rencana tindakan perawatan diri. Ini biasanya mencakup hal-hal seperti berkomitmen pada kontrak 'tidak menyakiti diri sendiri' dan apa yang harus dilakukan jika dia merasa kewalahan oleh kemarahan, depresi, dan putus asa (contohnya: menelepon 911, menelepon terapis, pergi ke unit gawat darurat rumah sakit terdekat). Selain itu, protokolnya pasti memberikan instruksi untuk mengambil obat-obatan sesuai arahan, memiliki janji tindak lanjut dengan psikiater/psikolog/pekerja sosial klinis, dan berpartisipasi dalam beberapa bentuk dukungan kelompok kecil. Jika suami Anda berjuang seperti yang Anda deskripsikan, dan Anda merasa kewalahan atau takut akan keselamatan (Anda), saya mendorong Anda untuk mencari bantuan segera.
