More Vibes

[minion]

I know I ask for a lot and have been horrible about actually engaging.

But a request for more vibes, thoughts, prayers or whatever it is you do.

Without too many details, I had to call 911 last night and the cops decided to involuntarily commit a suicidal family member, who pulled a weapon on themselves twice before the cops showed up. Oh yeah, and while I was on the phone with dispatch I had a different family member ask "why I would call" and make a bigger deal over it.

OH I'm sorry Minion. You did the right thing. It's so hard to intervene but this could be the turning point that helps your family member get healthy. Vibes to your family. Mental illness is hard to navigate and can be very painful for family members.

OMG I am so sorry. This sounds horrible. Sending so many vibes and positive thoughts your way. It sounds like you definitely handled this appropriately.

Oh Honey how awful! you did the right thing. Your other family member is totally wrong.

I wish for strength for you and your family in this tough time. xoxo

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, minion. You absolutely made the right decision to call. I'll keep your family member and the rest of your family in my thoughts.

Vibes minion. That's so tragic. Glad that person has you as a family member.

Oh my goodness - I'm so sorry you went/are going through this. But so glad that you called 911 to get this person help. I will most certainly keep all of you in my thoughts.

You did the right thing by calling. I am sending some good vibes for everyone though and hopefully the person gets some help they need.

[monsterz]

You absolutely did the right thing. I hope your family member gets the help they need.

Oh, that sounds horrific to go through. I'm so sorry.

Peace to you and your family, lots of vibes.

Holy eff, minion. I'm so glad you were there to take action but very sorry you had to deal with that. Your family is in my prayers.

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate the support. Person A was discharged the same night, after being referred to more services and talking to a social worker. Person B pretty much hates me because I've "made more work" for them. Since Person B thinks these new therapy appointments are unnecessary and inconvenient. I'm thankful that Person A is open to therapy and help, and would drive them myself, if B would let me. But apparently, I've "helped" enough.

Wow person B sounds pretty ignorant about mental health needs.

[dana86]

person B sounds dumb and like they really don't have any clue on how serious it was. Like they think the whole thing was a joke. Maybe they need some classes on reality. I'm glad you did what you did and I'm sure in the long run person A will be as well.
