[quote=Anonymous]OP you can give her some space but keep doors open and one eye on her. If she doesn’t want to go in her room make her a bed in another room or would she be willing to sleep with you? When DD has had crises, we’ve locked up the knives, razors, other sharps etc. and had her sleep with me. You can believe I did not sleep a wink. She used to stay up late alone after we’d gone to bed, but we stopped doing that and changed her schedule to go to bed early and put restrictions on her phone so she couldn’t stay up late on her phone. If she couldn’t fall asleep at a reasonable time, we’d give her Benadryl to help fall asleep. As for helping her process her feelings, the best tip we received was to validate feelings without minimizing them. Don’t make her feel ashamed or that it is her fault she is feeling this way.
