(11,304 posts)cousin. She came from a upper middle class family. She started getting mentally ill at the age of 19. They had her in and out of mental institutions. They even took her to Lourdes in France for a cure. She would get into crying spells and you would ask her why she was crying and she would look at you and tell you she didn't know why. She was even given shock treatments. One day her mother told the cook not to wake her up let her sleep because she didn't sleep well the night before. Well when she got up she went into the kitchen and asked why she didn't wake her up. The next thing she went to the balcony and jump off. She lasted about a week and then died. She was in that state of mind. When people are in that state you can't reason with them. They are going to do what they do. It left all of us very sad. She was 32 when she died. Her parents and her husband did all they could do to help her. I don't know what else you can do to help a person who wants to hurt themself.
