[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BTDT PP here.  I have no advice.  I agree you should do what it takes to make it difficult for your child to hurt herself.  But, I also know if there is a will, there is a way and everything in your house is a weapon - something I learned both professionally and in my own life with my child.  I just wanted to say that I am thinking about you and[b] don't let your guard down.  Trust your instincts and don't feel bad about taking your daughter back to the hospital if you think it's the right thing to do.  Go to a different hospital if you think that would be a better alternative. [/b] [/quote]

x1000  Don't let your guard down for a second.  If you feel she is going to endanger herself or self-harm then you pick her up, put her in the car and you get her to the hospital as quickly as you can.  Trust your instincts.  You know your daughter.  If you need someone to talk to, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

I have mixed feelings about your daughter being alone downstairs (in the basement?).  I think you need to check on her regularly.  I would be tempted to install a nanny cam if you could do it without her knowing what you're doing.[/quote]
