no more help needed

Errr, are you sure the hormones are the problem?  I would get her to see some help asap.  If she's really out of control like you say, there is probably a deeper problem.

Is she seeing a therapist?  And she needs to tell her doctor. ASAP.

Yes my mother takes her to a therapist every week. I've told my mom to talk to the therapist one on one before about the problems but I don't know if she has or not.

Mom needs to.  I doubt it is the hormones, something else is going on.

Agreed.

Perhaps your sister isn't working on all of the issues that she's got out of fear that she'll be taken off the hormones.

It could be that she's having a really bad imbalance of hormones as well.  Perhaps she's on too high of a dose?  There could also be a chance that she's taking other substances that exasperate her issues.

Either way, it sounds like she needs more help and isn't getting it.

I agree, it's not the hormones themselves, but perhaps a reaction to them.

There's three things I can see here as possibilities, but remember, I'm not a doctor. Numbered from most likely to least likely.

1: The hormones are too high for her, and she can't handle it
2: Somewhere, someone along the line didn't notice that transition may not be right for her
3: She's milking it. She's using suicide as an excuse to try and get her way
3a: She's scared out of her wits and is using the suicide to try and get people to pay attention to her.

It does sound like something else is going on.

Still, hormones are powerful things and can have unpredictable results.
Some people take a bit of getting used to them before settling down.
Progesterone especially seems to cause different reactions in people.

Still, this does not sound like a case of "settling down".
A few meltdowns on the road to sanity might be expected.
Multiple times a day sounds dangerous.

That's really a discussion for the therapist, I think.  I would, however, recommend you not approach her with that idea directly.  Nothing good will come out of that, at all.

It could be that her therapist is just not very familiar with Transgendered issues.  Maybe they simply don't realize that perhaps she needs more attention?

Thanks for the reply.
I am wondering if the transition may not be right either. But how does one come to the conclusion that someone is not ready?

The fact the female hormones are causing her to flip out is a pretty big sign in my book.

I'm not a doctor, not a psych. If there was a "Yes/No" test for transgenders, I'd be taking it. It really comes down to how he/she feels. I'm not going to ask the questions, because they should have asked them before hormones were prescribed.
