Suicidal alcoholic
My brother is suffering from bipolar and alcoholism. He has been diagnosed since 2.5 years. He attempted 3. To 4 times suicide. Latest he was ok and started teaching and tried to leave alcohol. He was getting withdrawal effect. But he still tried to teach.
With so much emotional stressed yesterday he again tried to commit suicide by hanging himself but he failed.
I am too much worried.
