Hi everyone.
I'll start with a brief background. My sister is 21 and has been diagnosed with a slew of disorders over the past few years. Primarily extreme depression and anxiety, PMDD, and OCD. She has fibromyalsia, and her hormone levels are completely out of whack. thyroid included.
She has been to countless doctors, given countless pills, and lately she has resorted to smoking weed all day everyday as well as taking klonopin.
She's been suffering from extreme fits of uncontrollable rage, and has tried to take her life a few times now.
This morning was the last straw when she tried to OD on klonopin. My mom took her to the ER and they put her on the 72 hour suicide watch.

Here's the big problem, the hospital has no beds in the psych ward, and they cannot find any institutions that will take her because she is being so angry and violent.

We do not know what to do or where to send her. We can't just bring her home after the 72 hours after the hospital because she'll just try to hurt herself again. She's already been sedated once and is still having fits of anger in the ER.

She is currently in hospital in Youngstown OH and we need help! We need to find somewhere that will take her in long term, watch over her, and help her heal without putting this kind of stress on my mother and our family. This is tearing us apart and we just don't know what to do. Please any advice is appreciated.
