[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you everyone for your kind responses.

We think this was SSRI activated, although she had the underlying ideation for a while.

She is in a residential program and will be released to us. She has a therapist we really like, and I am trying to get her into an IOP, or other out-patient DBT program.

One of my biggest concerns is her friend group, while they are kind and supportive, they all kind of validate each other as "sick" as an identity. I am trying to figure out boundaries with phones if anyone has any experience. Her texts are full of suicidal ideation.

We seriously restricted phone time after residential. We had the structure of a PHP which helped. It’s definitely beneficial for my DC’s mental health to have as little phone time as possible. My suggestion would be to be as structured as possible - mirror the schedule of the residential program if you can.[/quote]

This is such a good tip. Social media can cause spirally downward.[/quote]
