Question:
My sister tried to commit suicide yesterday what do I say to her? I can't get over being angry at her for this
I am so angry at her because she has 4 kids and she didn't take them into consideration when she tried to overdose on pills. How do I get over my anger towards her and talk to her. I have had several conversations with her trying to help her get her life on track. She doesn't take my advice and listens to people who don't care about her. She is 24 and has 4 kids I know that is stressful but she put herself in that situation and now she needs to deal with it.
Answers:
From someone who works as a therapist and struggles with depression and occasional suicidal ideation I can tell you that she was probably very much aware and thinking of her kids. The problem with depression is that you feel so bad about yourself that you start thinking that people would be better off if you were dead. It's not a character flaw, but rather a symptom of the illness, one that has a biological cause and can be treated with medication and therapy.
I advise you to learn all you can about depression and allow your sister to tell you what she is going through. Trust me, she needs your love and support now more than ever.
Take Care & God Bless,
