General Taking a Break - Daughter Suicidal

[Jim]

Myself, prefer having her home. She's not too happy with me at the moment as I'm making her rest. Well tough luck. Got a few more grey hairs the past 2 weeks so at least she can give her old man a break. ;-)

Well, I just walked in to the movie when the final chase scene is going on! I have been away and I have had to read up on what has been going on. I missed all the action!

I am sure glad that Evie is home now! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I plan to give thanks for her and her loving family, and this forum, and then eat some chocolate pecan pie to put some fat on her hips, in Evie's honor, since she has lost weight. All weekend we will have turkey and cranberry sandwiches as leftovers and I will wish Evie and Kathy and Jim well as they rest and recuperate.

I hated Trazadone too. There are so many pharmaseuticals that don't play well with others, or my brain.

Chocolate pecan pie? Oh my, that sounds very good! Have a piece for me as well! :wink:

One of our neighbours' boys had been fooling with firecrackers earlier this evening, and two of them went off quite close to our house. Evie nearly jumped right out of her skin. She seemed to recover adequately however since going to bed she has had several nightmares and was crying and vomiting. Jim is with her now and I am exhausted however can't seem to go back to sleep. I am quite worried for her though it is Jim's night to be with her and he insists I rest.

Poor bugger she cant win hey!
Thats the trouble something like that would upset a few sufferers I know hubby sometimes would be jumpy with sudden noises.I hope she settles Kathy and I hope you all can get some rest.

I learned a few things from this. I had no idea Evie couldn't handle the memorial service. I mean I knew it would be tough on her, but I figured since she's been working on herself for a year and doing pretty good at it, she would pull through OK. Boy was I wrong. I think we all were. Kinda sad it had to be so dramatic, but it was a learning curve for all of us.

Wow been out of the loop for a bit, Jim and Kathy do take care of yourselves Evie is so lucky to have family with her especially you guys. She told me she was going to go to the Remembrance Day service, I'm so sorry that with everything going on right now, and as of late these latest issues have arisen I hope that Evie feels better soon and that you guys do as well, All I can say is take care of each other and we all support you guys.

I have tried to figure out how old Evie is but no luck. Depending on her age this may sound stupid but is there anything when she was some what young that she really loved? Like maybe going to the zoo or a favorite eating place? Maybe something like to refresh memories of good things when life was better for her might lift her mood?

She's 24. I'm her older brother. That's a good idea Adam. Not sure I remember what she liked back then, but I'll ask her. Thanks for the tip.

 

[Kathy]

Thank you Adam, that is a lovely suggestion. Evie had a very happy, very normal childhood. Her trauma occurred at 17. So there may be many things from her past which will make her feel better. I will certainly discuss it with her when she's up to it. Thank you once again.

 

[Jim]

Very fine idea. She is feeling physically better. So. I will be resuming doing things with her daily, to boost her confidence. You've given me some ideas Adam, much appreciated.

Jim.

Please let us know how she goes with this idea Jim?
