My mom called me and told me my sister was trying to commit suicide. She took about 60 pills and called my mom to say goodbye. Fortunately, I live across the street and work from home. I ran across the street and when I got to the door it was locked. I remembered this and was able to break the door open on the second kick. I got to my sister and made her vomit by force 3 times and when the paramedics arrived they took her to the hospital where her heart stopped. She was in an induced coma for 5 weeks and survived.

Don't use this move in a fire.

Check first which way the door opens.

Sounds like you have been doing this for a long time , I hope things improve
frugalandhappy
Your sister is lucky to have you!

The jump kick looks pretty sweet though

Is the door OK?

I never thought I would say this... But @Nevertrustawetfart, you're a hero.

Now that sir is a true bro move , good on you !

Had to do this for my sister, slapped the bottle out of her hands and let me tell you....kicking in a door it crazy

Living in a country where front doors open outwards. What now ?
notsomediumbear
@nevertrustawetfart been there too, not all heros wear capes! Get support for yourself too, IT WAS TRAUMATIC!
nevertrustawetfart
I actually started seeing a therapist about a month before this happened.
CandiedCorn
This is why it's good to share information, even if it seems "common". You never know when it can change or save a life.
adventureanna
Hey. Are you okay? Do you need anything?
nevertrustawetfart
I’m good, thanks ?
feren
In today's post, @OP is a goddamn badass and also a f'ing wonderful person. I wish their sister & mother both a swift and thorough recovery.
nevertrustawetfart
I’d expect the same from everybody ?

I'm sorry that happened op.

Well done, hero.

You're my aspiration on how my kids support each other when they're older. Respect @op

Making each other gag?

First you gotta give the the trauma so they can rescue each other like that. I suggest starting with jumper cables
blastamasta
I learned to never make them vomit, since the pressure moves the poison mouth AND gut at the same time. Let the ER pump it out...

Gastric lavage (stomach pumping) is rarely used now, but there’s other methods of decontamination. The important thing is they see MD asap.

It was a panic reaction

This is on of my biggest pet peeves in movies

I really like the one in Jungle 2 Jungle where he just bounces sadly off the door.

I know they do it 'cos it looks dramatic/cool, but I really think the "proper" way looks dramatic/cool AF.

I’m reallly hoping the down votes are because they don’t like the suicide coma part but this is the internet after all.

It's bc they're a holes

I hope your sister makes a full recovery. How did you induce the vomiting?
Markuspsyches
Put your finger to the back of her throat.
nevertrustawetfart
Fingers down her throat. I got a lot of it out.
wlfman
I'm curious how you force someone to vomit. Fingers down the throat?

This is not always a good idea. An unconscious person can aspirate the vomit, making the situation much worse. Wait for paramedics. I >

charcoal capsules. Because I might get confused and take more than im supposed to. Or suicidal again.

Yes
grndpnder
Did you try pulling first?
Clemptor
If she really wanted to die she wouldn't have called anyone.
nevertrustawetfart
This is half truth, but you can’t assume that people aren’t scared or sad they want to die.
Clemptor
Not really. Is she dead? Nope. She can write a sad letter, make a video. She reached out because she really didn’t want to go.

Clemptor
Nope. Those who really want to die don’t risk being stopped.

I don’t speak from ignorance or inexperience so maybe don’t try and minimize my comment.

I don't either.

Clemptor
There’s nothing wrong with a cry for help but my point was I don’t believe this person really wanted to die.
Betterbecauseofthem
What if she doesn't regret trying to kill herself, is more miserable now, & has greater resolve to succeed next time?
nevertrustawetfart
We think that a lot but she seems better, especially being off so many meds now.
Betterbecauseofthem
Not to seem insensitive. I'm from the 'if someone wants to go, get together, say goodbye and help them go' camp
nevertrustawetfart
I mean, if that’s how you’re raised, then that’s that. Hope that works out for you.

If you bring a hammer, you can smash the knob off most doors in a swing or two. If the door is well framed.

If I had a hammer I'd knock out a window

How does that help? Door is still locked.

You can land your kick closer to the lock if theres no handle
ZoidbergIsGreat
Locking mechanism is generally in the handle. Can just pull out out and twist open
Lycion
U have never installed a doorknob in your life have you? Modern twist doorknob is 2 separate parts. Knob itself is not lock but the latch is
ZoidbergIsGreat
I have actually. The old ones you can absolutely do this. Had to smash a handle off one of my doors when we lost the key
BaconBoy7
If the lock is in the handle, knocking it off makes everything fall of the door so it just opens? (is my guess, I don't know actually know)
ratherbored
That's pretty much accurate.
forscience6686
ratherbored
Unless there's a seperate bolt, removing a doorknob can render the knob/latch assembly virtually useless.
jotchy
Better be prepared to kick the door down though, a lot of modern doorknobs protect against this and you’re just waisting time then.
furballsoffury
Yes thank you. I have installed 60 doors, so breaking one is a matter of understanding. Also I don't need a window to get into a house, I'

DarkBusterBaron
5 minutes is a really long time when someone’s life is on the line it only takes 10 seconds to slit your wrists. If @OP sister had done 1/2
Entitlement
Is she better now? How do you not overcome with worry about leaving her alone again? It’s your mom ok?
Xenocideisaplan
No op obviously but you dont overcome that worry, you try to get them the help they need and try not to panic visibly everytime they leave.
nevertrustawetfart
Yes she is. She self admitted a week prior saying she was suicidal but they let her go after 72 hours. She’s off all her meds now.
erischilde
All the strength to you and your fam. I hope she finds the peace she needs to keep fighting life long.
DeKetsendeRechter
I am saddened to hear that your mental healthcare services are not up to modern standards, she deserves it. Must be awful for her.
BallsDeepinaDragonscloaca
Is she still suicidal after that brief stint?
nevertrustawetfart
No, she’s actually happier.
ThomasThundersword
i think what OP was saying was before the attempt she self admitted and they bounced her after 3 days. then she tried to kill herself.
BallsDeepinaDragonscloaca
Oh...! That makes more sense.
TheMoonTart
Is she meant to be off her meds? I’m glad that means she’s all good now. If I stop I relapse :’(
emcat11
Same, my meds are the only thing between me and an anxiety depression puddle
nevertrustawetfart
We’re going to try another approach. All the meds really messed her up.
