Q: How do I get help my sister help? She has tried to kill herself three times in the last year and I don't know what to do? We are pretty sure she has bipolar but she's never been treated.
First find out what her triggers are. Their's something that bothering her. Second keep giving her support, this is real important. " Don't allow bipolar disorder define your relationship with your sister. Third get her treated!!! 
how old is your sister?? if she is under 18, u can go to court or whoever her parent or guardian is can actually make her go. where ever u live u will have to call local social services to see wat u can do, that is if she is under 18. If she is over 18, by law u cant do to much, but every state is different. if u can declare her incompentant and cant take care of herself and is a danger to herself, u can have her committed to the hospital. hope this helps u
You need to find treatment for your sister as soon as possible, whatever it takes.
My sister commited suicide a month ago, & she was bipolar as well.
Even if she doesn[t want treatment, make her get it.
