Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but my has mum tried to commit suicide and I could use some guidance to help me work out what I need to do to help her. It was a genuine attempt, she is currently in hospital voluntarily. She has had a bad few months after her husband died but a lot of stuff I didn't know about has come out when talking to the mental health team and I dont know what to do to support her. I talked to her asking why but she said it was just a spur if the moment thing and both the nurses and I truly believe that given half the chance she will try again. She's perfectly lucid at the moment but gets very upset taking about her husband and I really don't know what to do/say to comfort her. I really think she is going to be successful in doing this one day and I just don't know what I can do to make any difference. She's had some psychotic episodes, again that I have only found out about today. I'm not sure what I'm expecting from posting and I'm that tired for being out with her all day I may fall asleep before anyone replies. Has anyone had to deal with this and had a positive outcome?
