Moms suicide?
Question:
Answers:
If you know that your mother is attempting to harm herself in some way, YOU should call her doctor and give this information to them.
She will be evaluated by a physician and she can be forced to go to some type of inpatient hospitalization to help her. They can offer her help but she will have to want it for herself as well.
If you do not get help from the doctors office, you should call the police.
If something (God forbid) were to happen, please know that it is NOT your fault and you can only help someone for as much as they are willing to let you.
Best of luck to you.
Most of the time when a person talks about suicide they will never do it.They just need attention and that is a way to get it.But it is better to be safe than sorry.Get her to a Dr right away.They need to put her on some antidepressants.
Please call your mother's doctor and tell her this. You might contact both her psychiatrist and her primary care physician. Your county may also have a mental health board which could be of assistance. If you think suicidal action on her part is imminent, then by all means call the police.
Shes' wanting help, and obviously her psychiatrist is not doing enough. It's time for you to talk to the Dr., and maybe get her commited to a mental hospital on amanditory 72 (3 day) hold. She can be further evaluated, and maybe she's not on the right combo of meds, or maybe there is an underlying cause. I hope that your mom doesn't kill herself, and I wish you the best of luck sweetie. God bless!
If you want a safe person to talk to, call 1-800-SUICIDE. You don't have to "report" your mom, but you can ask for advice from the people at the hotline. They are experts. They want to help you, even if you are not the person who is thinking about suicide. Please call.
My mum who is terminally ill would say that she wanted to die earlier and not want to burden us. Sometimes she got so depressed that she said she wanted to commit suicide. Once she was really serious and for the fact that she was living on the 8th floor of a high rise building scared my sister and my borthers to death. I have been the only one whom my mum would take my words seriously. So my sis called me (they are in Malaysia and I am in U.S,). When i learned of it, i paniced too.
I called my mum, told her that we all loved and cared for her. We wld never abandon her and wld want her to live as long as possibly could. She had never been a burden to us and this was the least that we cld do for her. For what we had done for her, without complaining, and for her to do such a thing is the worst thing she could repay us. Did she want to make us live in shame and guilt and be branded us as being irresponsible to our sick mother for the rest of our lives? I said it was not within anyone of our power to stop her but if she loved and cared for us, that wld be the last thing she wld want to do.
It worked. I asked her to promise me. She did and has stopped saying that ever since.
