[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good advice here. My daughter was very much like yours--very much a people pleaser who would tell me and her therapist that she was fine when she was in fact making a suicide plan. She did tell her best friend, I learned of it and took her back to the therapist that had treated her in the past but that really was no longer a good fit for her. When that therapist (whom my daughter did not want to "let down") told me my daughter was fine, I let down my guard. Had I or that therapist been more on the ball, we could have spared her two more years of suffering and a suicide attempt. My regret around all that is huge and hard to bear. The good news is that after the suicide attempt and hospitalization we did get her into DBT, and that has made all the difference. She on meds and in weekly follow-up therapy, and she is a stable, happy kid looking forward to college. It is gut-wrenching to contemplate that we might have lost her due to our ignorance and inaction and that she suffered with depression for as long as she did. Hugs to you, OP, and good luck.[/quote]
