WE have tried the local sherrif's department and crisis line. She has had her stomach pumped and wrists sewn but it is always chalked up to alcoholsim. I know it is a mental thing. What can we do???

You need a psych work up on how unstable this person is. You'll need a court order for involuntary commitment and spaces at the Arizona State Hospital are few. Good luck.

Have you tried calling Social Services or talked to a doctor especially a psychiatrist? One would think that if she cut her wrists, they would think that she has a problem.
Good Luck! I truly hope that you'll be able to get your loved one help soon.
