Should i talk to someone?

Gosh, where do I began - this week has been a nightmare. On Tuesday I got a call from my older sister, the 1st thing she said was our brother had committed suicide. I immediately through my phone and went insane -He’s been batting depression and is suicidal. I tried calling my mom but the phone went to voicemail. After I calmed down a bit I drove to my moms house where my brother also lives. I pull up and see cops, ambulance and fire trucks. Turns out he had gotten into an argument with my other sister and cops were called. He left before cops came and said he had a gun on him and was going to take pills and hurt himself. I’m writing this because hearing that about my brother completely recasted me. I’m so happy it’s not true, but I’ve also have been really sad these past few days. My body is sore and I’ve lost my voice from stress. I often cry randomly. I am so upset with my sister for saying such an ignorant thing that wasn’t true. Should I feel this way? Should I speak with a professional?

    Sounds like your whole family would benefit from some group counselling

    Yes you sound really traumatized, do seek professional help and share your experience and feelings with comforting friends and family to ease your emotional pain.

    Glad to hear your brother's okay. Also, fuck your sister, man. I think it wouldn't hurt to talk to someone.

    I recommend therapy to everyone, there’s literally no downside to talking with a professional besides it possibly being a little costly. Even people I know who are in a good headspace I recommend therapy to.

    I really hope you can explore avenues of self help, and implement some professional emotional help into your life. There should be some cost effective networks too, and journaling or reading self help books can also be a good tool.

    My brother tried to kill himself. With a handgun. Like how the fuck are you pathetic that you even fail at shooting yourself properly. It flabbergastes me
