A member of my family has a history of anxiety and depression, of taking overdoses but has always sought professional help and become stable again with the help of medication, counselling and exercise. I thought she was doing really well.
I have not seen her yet but I have learned she was pretty out of it last night and she has bruises around her neck as if she has tried to hang herself. She denies doing so and said her necklace got caught.
She had someone with her last night but don't want her to be alone over this weekend so will ask her to stay with me.
I am very much out of my depth here, what can I do or say to her to support?
