How do I deal with someone who seems determined to take their own life? My little sister, who just got back from the hospital after overdosing on antidepressants, says she no longer wants to get better, that she's given up and just wants us to let her die peacefully. No matter how many times we tell her we love her and that it'll get better in the future (she's only 14), she doesn't believe us and thinks we'll be happier without her because we have to pay so many medical bills due to her mental illness. She won't listen to any positive encouragement or any advice, and she doesn't care when we say her death would devastate the family. What can I even do to help?

Give her a gun. She never asked to be born with mental illness, and it was cruel of your parents to create her. You would deny her the right to choose to end it now?

I assume she's seeing a shrink?
>>
>>18232195
She is, we've gone through numerous therapists. Her most recent one yelled at her and refused to treat her because he thought her anxious mumbling was "disrespectful" but we just found a new one that she'll see soon

>>18232194
Not bait, your father made a mistake and she wants to correct it.
>>
>>18232198
See if your GP has a recommendation. Having a professional psychiatrist who went through med school and shit, yell at their mental health patient for disrespect is pretty fucking suspect.

My big sis was suicidal but it only took 1 specialist to at least stop her from going off the deep end. She's not exactly mentally healthy but she's no longer suicidal. I'd imagine due to a good shrink.

Yeah, we filed a complaint about him and apparently we weren't the first to do so.
It's been a cycle. Two years ago she was an inpatient at a rehab center for people with anorexia. She was fine when she came back, then a few months later she got worse, then she got better and seemed like she was on the path to recovery, and now she's really pushing hard for us to let her kill herself. It seems like it never ends

>>18232237
Because it doesn't, the mental illness your parents gave her will continue for the rest of her miserable life. She will have to struggle every single day to resist it and will probably be in and out of psych facilities her whole life. I've seen it many times.
>>
Try electroconvulsive therapy. She will feel better in no time. This is the perfect time to use it.

Is this board always like this?

Like what

Keep trying to help her, don't get tired and resentful. She's your baby sister after all and she'll eventually get better with the correct care and support from both the family and professional services.

Keep an eye on her in case she does anything rash, my sister certainly did. But even she could recover and be a productive person, albeit not as an entirely healthy person

she's only 14, just have her committed you dumb fuck and let the professionals help her. if anyone is bait here it is your dumb ass.

>she doesn't care when we say her death would devastate the family.

did you really think trying to make someone that already feels like absolute shit feel guilty would help her? you're the problem and so are your parents. fuck off dude.
>>
Show her the picture for suicidal thoughts
She'll live her life fully
>>
>>18232181
Force her to wake up everyday early in the morning and go get coffee together. You can talk, or you can stay silent that's not the point. The point is you're forcing her to do something everyday.
>>
>>18232593
Please explain how trying to broaden her perspective and make her think of someone other than herself is "the problem"
I genuinely don't get it
>>
Consider yourself lucky. I'm in the same position and wish mine felt some sort of guilt or remorse for what she puts us through.
>>
>>18232181
Tell her to stop being a FUCKING pussy.


Tell her to go do what she wants until she's happy, if not, let her collect her darwin award.
>>
>>18232593
Yeah I was about to mention this.

What the fuck is going on OP?
>>
>What can I even do to help?
Be there for her. That's about all you can do, assuming she isn't going to listen to reason. Let her know that she can talk to you, and be ready to listen.

>>18232181
