I hope your sister is getting the support she needs. I also hope that now you can focus some more on yourself and looking after your own needs. Keep talking to your family.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
We went to see N this morning, took her breakfast because she isn't up to hospital food. They weighed her last night and she is underweight which we all knew but now hopefully she will believe us. It was so lovely to see her and it seems like they are taking her seriously. I will see her again tomorrow morning and we can text in the meantime.
I am doing ok, I think the increase in clozapine is helping control the voices and fears. I just worry a lot about N. We're going to see her after Mass. Hopefully she will see the psych soon.
She saw the psych. He's going to talk to her CC and come up with a meds plan. She started a new anti depressant not long ago which can increase suicidality.
She's stressed about her room because it's on the hub end of the male corridor and the door doesn't close properly. She has told staff.

Reason: Add a bit
I'm sorry you keep thinking about hurting yourself but I'm glad you have a focus away from those thoughts. I hope the voices stay away. You are doing brilliantly.

I don't think that's bad at all. It's a lot of responsibility to care for someone when they are unwell, and that shows how much you care about her. Make sure to reach out for support for yourself if you need.
Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.
You can't always keep it separate.
This is happening, this is part of you.
Relief isn't a bad feeling. You've been so worried and it's understandable to be glad that you don't have to be so on edge any more. I hope you are all doing ok today.

Do you know why you're feeling those urges? It's good that you're trying to fight the urges, please keep going. Do it for yourself as well as for your sister.
