My sister tried to kill herself by overdosing on Wednesday night. She was let out of the hospital this morning. I've only seen her on Wednesday night due to having to watch my younger siblings whilst my mother stayed with her in the hospital.
She's dealt with depression, autism and anxiety for years. I've always done all I could to help her in any way possible. I don't know how to help her now, she's still incredibly sick from the overdose and her attitude is very subdued.
I'm just at a loss on what to do, I've been doing the usual for her; cooking yummy food for her when she feels like eating, we watched a movie and we tried to talk about what happened but I can tell it makes her uncomfortable. I don't want there to be a lack of communication between us, I want her to know she can come to me with anything and everything.
What do I do? How do I help her? Because of her autism it is often hard to communicate things to her as well. I'm just so at a lost on how to proceed beyond doing material things for her like cooking, cleaning and general reassurance that she has me in her corner.
Edit: She does see a psychologist, has been for over a year. She's got an array of appointments next week as well concerning this.
