[quote=Anonymous]You are not alone - we experienced this with our son at this age as well. Therapy, medication, and changes to his environment to reduce stress helped. We told his school team so they could monitor him there. We slowly worked on expanding his window of tolerance. With his therapists help, we made a list of things that helped him regulate his emotions, which included screen time and audio books, and we gave him access to those things when he was getting overwhelmed. I also told him that, if we could not keep him safe, we would need to go to the hospital, and sometimes that information helped him get back to a more regulated state. Have you explored the possibility of OCD at all? Suicidal ideation can be something ocd sufferers perseverate on. [/quote]
