Mom is trying to suicide?

1. 7 hours ago
cant go to an psychiatrist at all since she has no time and if she gets fired we're broke. thats why she doesn't seek medical help she takes some prescription things and got checked and she has bipolar and manic depression or something

2. 7 hours ago
relatives live 20 hours away by plane

3. I'm so sorry I hope every thing works out.

4. tell your dad to take your mom to the hospital they will keep her safe there.

5. well no one on the internet is going to be able to help her. She has to see a professional

6. if you go to school ask your counsler. i hope everything turns out ok. omg if it gets worse call 911. lets hope it doesn't get that far.

7. Threaten to call the cops on her and put her in a mental ward

8. you should have a savings account if anyhting like this happened you need to get your mom to a pyshchiatrist you should probably go and live with another relative and get your mom to the hospital b4 she does something drastic

9. Get her into a hospital where they can get her the help she needs - her job is no good to her if she succeeds with suicide.

10. it doesnt matter if she doesnt hav enuf time wouldnt u rather have her take some time off work than all the time off work i think u rather have her be there then to never b there and if she gets fired at least it saved her right???

11. awww... i am so sorry! i would say her health and mental well being is more important than money. Have her ask for a day off to go get help. Even one day might help her, and I'm sure her boss would not mind if she took a sick day. If it's a life or death situation make sure she gets the helps she needs; but most importantly, make sure she knows you are there for her and support and love her... make her know there is someone there who loves her, and whose heart would be broken if she were gone. Do everything in your power to let her know that, even if it is you just looking her in the eye and saying, "I love you".

12. I work in a psychiatric hospital. I am sorry to hear about your families financial difficulties. However, your mother MUST go to a hospital for crisis intervention. Having Bipolar Disorder can be very serious and stressful for both the patient, as well as loved ones. Help your family by calling a local hospital in order to see if they can send out a crisis unit. PS: Your mother's job does not need to know that she was in a psychiatric crisis. Only that she has been ill, and required hospitalization. Your mother's job cannot fire her for psychiatric problems...your family can sue, if there is any hint of such. Good luck and you are in my prayers.

13. I know you don't want to, but if she keeps it up, you need to call 911. If she loses her job, life will suck, but how bad would it be if she killed herself? No Mom... no money... Good luck...

14. for god's sake's call 911 Unless I answered too late, I hope it's all good all right? let me know if it's okay get off the computer and go help or run a way you are right where you are supposed to be if you are asking this question

15. ur mom has a good job but ask if she get's vacation or go to her place and ask her boss for a day off for her then she can get a day off and get the help

16. Right now this is a pretty scary thing for you to witness. Your Mom needs professional help and your Dad will have to take control of the situation and force her to get that help. She doesn't get to decide that she's too busy to take care of herself. She's not too busy to take too many pills. Your Dad should take her to the hospital where they can take care of her and do a psychiatric evalution. If the situation is so bad that she feels her only alternative is to kill herself, she's not fit to make her own decisions right now. She needs help to find better ways to cope with life stresses. For the immediate time, though, she needs to be taken to the hospital. Depending on how bad things are, she may need to be admitted to a mental facility for a time until she's able to sort things out. She can be admitted against her will if she's a danger to herself or others. Clearly she's a danger to herself at this time. Your Dad may have to call 911 to get the EMTs there to take care of her. If he hesitates, talk him into it. Once she gets evaluated the doctors will decide what kind of treatment is necessary. I know how scary this whole thing is for you right now. We're here for you so you don't have to feel alone in this. Keep us posted.

17. It sounds like she need some release! She has a lot on her plate at this time, Because she is bearing the weight of being the main income of the family. Maybe it would be in her best interest to seek treatment in a hospital for a few weeks. She needs to regroup and some of the financial bearings need to be lifted off of her back. Maybe your father needs to find another financial way of helping your mother. I wish you and your mother the best of luck!
