My sister (same father) is on FB talking about suicide. She posted a picture and she looks so bad right now.
Her exBF passed away a few days ago and she's taking it hard. She apparently just changed her phone number and I don't have the new one. My brother is going to try to get a hold of her, but he doesn't know if he has her number.
I'm so angry at my dad...because he passed away, it fucked up her life bad...it fucked up all our lives in a way, and she's never been ok. She's in to drugs and stuff bad...she's such a mess. Maybe it's irrational to think that way, but I'm feeling angry towards him. I live in fear of the call that my sis has died...it's been close a couple of times.
I'm absolutely sick with fear right now. She's posting about going to her cousin who died years ago. I've never hoped for someone just being dramatic so hard in all my life.
It's times like this that I'm reminded that I do have a problem with alcohol, because my first reaction after knowing I can't do anything this second is to have a strong, strong drink. I badly want a drink right now.

Omg. Do you where she's living or where she is right now? Can someone go check on her? If you know where she is but don't know of anyone to check on her then call the police. Don't hesitate.
I thought of calling the police, but she moved not too long ago and I don't have the new address. I just know the city, and it's a big city. The house wouldn't be in her name My brother couldn't get a hold of her either...his number is the same one I have.

If they don't have an address or a phone number then they won't know where to look, but I would call anyway just to see if they have any ideas for what to do.
If you can figure out where she is then they'll go there and take her to a hospital to get evaluated and possibly stay overnight if she poses a threat to herself. DH does this often at work.
Does anyone know where she lives now, any friends or anything? Maybe you can message a few close friends on Facebook?
I've been messaging people on FB...nobody can reach her. I did call the police there and gave them all the information I had. They are going to the only address that I have and have police on the lookout for her based on the description. They will call me with any news.
I hope everything is okay. On the plus side, her being on fb talking about suicide is a cry for help and someone could still reach out to her and help.
Oh my, I'm so glad you got a hold of her. PP was right, it was a cry for help, so hopefully she can get the help she needs.
As a side note, I know exactly how you feel. My one brother attempted suicide numerous times (never succeeded), but the worry just made our family literally sick with fear.
