I need help

[SleeplessinSoCal]

30. Thank you so much for your reply.

I need to clarify that she has admitted she wasn't serious about committing suicide. Though I don't rule our that she may have been that morning. She says she is selfish. We talk through her feelings of being selfish and I remind her that she was trying hard to help others, but she became overwhelmed. Part of all her illness seemed to stem from a chronic nerve pain in her tailbone. She's had it since January 6, 2021. We talked to her case worker yesterday about getting an MRI, which she fears holding still for.

I contacted family yesterday to get help. Going to ask her son, who we see here tomorrow to come and take her for visits at least twice a month.

Today I'm going to help her tidy her room. She has always done so before the onslaught.

Yesterday, when I kept losing my temper my hubby came in to tell us to not argue in the sweetest and funniest way imaginable. I'm a lucky gal to have married him. He's 8 years in and still has his wonderful personality. I treasure our time together. Strangely my sister's illness helps me treasure it all the more.

But I hear you loud and clear. Do not fear for our safety though. I'm more concerned about her paranoia and OCD like behavior. Do you know if that can be treated with a drug?
