[quote=Anonymous]Get a book and sit down there with her. If she asks why you can just say it doesn't feel safe to leave her right now - in a sweet way. Your path forward will be behavior activation - gently but firmly coaxing her to take a walk with you, join you for meal upstairs, watch a tv show with you, meet up with a good friend, etc. The more you can get her moving, the better she will feel. She has lost the privilege of solitude for now, for her own safety. Also, ask your doc about getting her some sleeping meds - melatonin, etc. Good nights sleep is so important to recovery and then you can have a little time knowing she's safe. good luck!! Other ideas: IOP, group therapy and possible residential treatment if things go down hill, which they might. Have that plan B in place if you can. Do your research now. [/quote]
