[quote=Anonymous]I had a daughter who shared a very similar story to the one you share . I can only share my response: I stopped everything, and got to her to the ER , where they did an evaluation, and recommended inpatient treatment .sadly no bed were available, so for 2 months, with the help of her doctor, therapist , I was the nurse, cook, therapist, trainer...we walked daily, had a regular sleep/wake schedule, added journaling, art, gardening, movies..........and it was explained that at any time when she shares ideation etc, it will be taken seriously and she will be taken to the ER by me or an ambulance. I will not be held hostage to threats , but will do anything of the depression or overwhelm is so severe that she is drowning . Don't dismiss it , suicide rates are higher than ever...so are depression and anxiety, our children are struggling in this crazy world . And for her, her family is her world within the chaos that can help her . [/quote]
