[quote=Anonymous]thanks to everyone for the thoughts. we met with the dr and social worker and i spoke to her therapist. the plan right now is, she will see her therapist tomorrow am and on friday she will see therapist again as well as psychiatrist. she and i are going away tomorrow after she sees therapist--we are going to visit my parents. they live near a beach that my daughter loves and she adores my parents, who are basically the exact people you want in your corner if anything goes wrong.  she is going to discuss IOP with her therapist and also via phone with the school guidance counselor tomorrow and how she might balance treatment and school. ER doc also suggested we look at DBT or CBT program so we will be looking into that. no hospital for now but we all let her know that it is something that is on the table if it becomes necessary. DD agreed to have her bedroom door open for now and to toss her razor blades (with me). the social worker and doc that saw her tonight both felt that while this is incredibly scary for DD (and for me!) it may serve as kind of a wake up call for her--she did not mean to cut this badly and they think it's probable that being that scared will serve as a way to motivate her to take treatment more seriously. they also both told me that she comes across as quite insightful and intelligent about what drove this and the stressors involved, which was good to hear, and neither were THAT concerned (they were concerned, obviously, but not...THAT concerned, i guess?) 
thank you again. what a night. [/quote]
