Hi, please discuss these with your families at the earliest. Also, if she is having suicide thoughts very often please inform her doctor ASAP.
But you need to talk to your family soon because you alone can't save her always.
Next Steps
Tell your parents straight away about her medical condition and suicidal thoughts and the history you mentioned here. Don't jump into the conversation suddenly, rather call all the members you want to discuss and start the conversation.

Hi, I understand your concern for your sister. Given her history of schizophrenia and past suicide attempts, this is a high-risk situation.
It is important to inform your parents—this is not interference, but a necessary step for her safety. Try to share calmly, focusing on her health and recent risks, without blame.
Also, stay in touch with her psychiatrist, ensure she is not left alone during vulnerable times, and seek immediate help if there are any warning signs.
Family support and timely intervention can make a significant difference.

You all family members needs to know the psychological condition your sister is undergoing.
It would be easy to handle her.
Schizophrenia can be well treated with counseling sessions, homeopathic medicine along with allopathic medicine.
Slowly allopathic medicines can be taperred off as per her improvement.
Need not to stop allopathic medicines abruptly. It may cause withdrawal symptoms.
It needs to be treated in a holistic approach for complete recovery.
You need an expert Psychologist who is a good homeopathic physician.

Hi
I can understand how difficult and stressful this is for you. Right now the focus should not be on her personal choices but on her safety, because she has already tried to harm herself more than once. In such situations, it is important to involve family support even if it feels uncomfortable. You are not interfering, you are trying to protect her life.
When you speak to your parents, keep it simple and calm. Do not go into details about her relationships. Just tell them that she is not emotionally stable, she has been struggling a lot, and there have been serious instances where she tried to harm herself. Tell them she needs support, supervision, and understanding, not anger or blame. If possible, involve her doctor in explaining things so your parents take it seriously.
For now, try to ensure she is not left alone for long, keep an eye on anything she can use to harm herself, and stay emotionally supportive without judging her. You are doing the right thing by stepping up for her. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
