Question:
What should I do to prevent my sister from killing herself?
My sister has attempted suicide three times. The most recent one just this last Sunday. She has tried three different ways: Carbon Monoxide poisoning, almost shot herself but the police dearmed her, and a pill overdose. She's currently in a mental hospital, but she's already told me that's she's going to kill herself when she gets out. What do I do? By the way, she's 24. I'm 19 and we have three other brothers and sisters, and both our parents are still alive.
Answers:
you need to tell your parents that you know she will try again, and she needs to stay in treatment. You can't enable her, even thourgh it seems like she might get mad at you, she will understand why later on in life, if she is around to. Make sure you tell your family, they can keep her in treatment. If she needs to stay longer, so be it. Another month, or two, or even twelve is nothing compared to the life she has ahead of her.
