I think my sister should quit medical school and supporting her has not been easy.

My sister is in the process of getting help, but she accepted an initial intake with therapy a few weeks out because she is in medical school and is busy.

Her self harm is very bad, as her entire arms and legs are covered with scars, like literally every square inch. I’ve never seen that. She started self harming in medical school.

To be honest, I think she should quit medical school, but then she threatened suicide when I mentioned that. So I’m so confused what to do.

I talk to her almost every day now, but it’s always the same conversation of how she is depressed, feels worthless, etc.

I actually can’t take it anymore. We live in different states and I was going to visit her for Thanksgiving because I don’t want her to be alone, but I don’t think I can for my own sanity. I need to block her for like a week. I love her, but it’s so hard to discuss these thoughts with her. I wish she was staying in a psych ward to get better.

Going to medical school while self harming and having suicidal idealization seems wild to me.
