k2bdeutmeyer Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It appears that my 19yr old brother attempted to commit suicide today. I was sitting in "big brother" class with DS when I got the text: "(Brother) is in the ER for pill and alcohol OD. He bottomed out today. He will be admitted to ICU for the night." He's been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster lately, but last I knew, Mom felt that he was doing okay, talking about the future, etc. He had double the legal limit of alcohol in his system and (based on empty bottles visible) had taken a lot of her Ativan as well as her muscle relaxers. He may have taken other things as well. She found him essentially unresponsive in his bed and had to call 911. He's now detoxing and will meet with the psychologist in the morning. It all feels a little surreal right now, but I know he could really use your prayers right now. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
