My niece tried to killl herself last week. We just found out about it today. I don't know many details, but I imagine that's cause my family (estranged) is trying to keep it hush hush (the less you pay attention to mental illness of any kind the better). She's 14, took a bunch of Nyquil tablets at school, freaked out told a friend, the school rushed her to the hospital. Sketchy details...she has bulemia as well, and my sister had known (I guess) for a while...today was a hearing (at court?) but no one seems to know what it is all about, and no one wants to say (my sister that is).

Just like her to make a horrible traumatic experience more torturous by doing so (she does this with pretty much everything...gives a nibble, and freaks us out). So I guess G. will be going to a hospital upstate of where they live...

I haven't a clue what to do. All I know is when it started to sink in with my SIL & I as we spoke we both said pretty much the same thing...it could have been one of those calls (the day my brother killed himself).....thank God she is ok, I mean, physically at the moment.

So, to all of you that ever think of doing that!!! PLEASE NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU FEEL YOU ARE UNLOVED, OR UNCARED FOR...OR WHATEVER, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE LIKE ME IN YOUR LIFE, that still loves you, even if you did push us away!!! and still hurts for you, still cries for you, and will lose sleep over you! I am so thankful she didn't kill herself, and I hope she can figure this out....
