Been a relatively quiet year except for about a week in May in which, at almost the same time, my brother got off probation and promptly got arrested 5 days later for marijuana possession while, at the same time, my long-time girlfriend was put into a mental hospital as a suicide risk, and without a car I ended up walking 42 or so miles in 6 days to go see her while getting about 2 hours of sleep a night and trying to not get dropped from federal student aid. I can only hope the rest of the year is quiet.
I'm sorry. My niece was also hospitalized for attempted suicide/self harm several times this year,. It's difficult to understand and there is so little you can do or say to help. All I want is to shake her and say, "I love you so much. Why can't you love yourself like I do? Why are you doing this?" I was there when she was born, took care of her as a little girl. I just want her to be okay.
I'm very sorry to hear about your niece. I know how you feel, where you just want them to see how much they mean to you and everyone around them, like if you could just make them see that then they'd never feel bad about themselves again. My girlfriend is still in heavy therapy and on medication but she hasn't been back so far, which is good. Here's hoping it stays that way.
