Maybe a stay at Hospital and try and get her stabilized on meds will help ?

Watching our children go through traumatic stuff is so hard.

My thoughts are with you

She was fine this summer?

(((BIG HUG))) You're both in my prayers, but 12 or 14 - maybe want to come home, or just fuck with the system.... The more doc's they sent me, the more creative I got .....

Breathe!!!!! Slow breathes.... this is not 100 years ago, there are many options and choices, professional help.....

That's what I'm thinking Gina

But she is a good little actress bawling her eyes out. She doesn't want to go to the hospital is what she's saying but...

I think she likes the attention. She's always been acting out for attention. She cuts she threatens suicide and all kinds of stuff.

And yes she was fine over the summer. She can mention demons to highly religious people but can't tell her own mother. Well I guess that does make sense.

I wasn't a drama queen - but really, all the docs, pdocs, tdocs = around 12 , 13 - time to fuck with them : )

If she cuts and threatens suicide then I think she needs the 'right' kind of attention... Perhaps being away at school is something she's struggling with do you think?

Perhaps the one on one attention that a hospital admission can give her can get her some of the help that she needs started and appropriate resources in place for her

My catholic military family kinda beat me and blamed me for their unhappiness..... LOL later divorced too!

Being in Juvenile or adolescent settings - us neglected, dejected, spoiled, and just bored or mean - well, we talked and taught each other everything...

I could have made a lot of bad choices, but I wanted work, independence etc, etc, other teenagers - not so much!!!!

The hospital might be the best place for her right now, if she is experiencing what you're saying here!!

Well, obviously, you need to be there for her in every way that you can!!!

What does the school want you to do? And/or what do they want to do?
Can you contact your doctors, therapists, etc., (assuming you're under the care of one or more health care professionals?)
Ask them what you should do for her.

Good luck to you and your whole family.
I hope you're daughter is okay soon!!!

(((((Hugs)))))

Of course - doubts or not, she needs all that help... you never take a risk...

you keep breathing and posting!!!!

Cutting is a cry for help. Sounds like she needs the hospital to help stabilize her at the very least and get her the help she needs.

That age is when mental disorders can develop. I think the best thing would be to have her see a doctor, and let them decide what she needs. A hospitilization may be what she needs, but let the professionals decide. ((Hugs))

Don't worry a hospital is exactly what she's getting. And if they decide to medicate her I'm all for that too. I just hope that they can find the right meds for her because she does have such wonderful grades and it'd be a waist if something would get in the way of that. Not saying it will but some meds have very unwanted side effects and that's what I worry about.

Sounds like she needs help ASAP. A hospital stay can allow nurses and doctors to provide the care she needs and find a medication regimen (if you decide to go that route) that looks like it will work. She may be playing for attention but attention might just be what she needs.

My heart and thoughts are with you as you go through this tough time. Good luck and let's keep hearing how she's doing! ((((HUGS))))

Ouch! So sorry you and your daughter are in a pickle. Let the pdoc determine which meds (if she is hallucinating she needs something), and structure would be best for her. Good luck!

The hospital or a special program will help her get control back. She is crying out for help in her own way and sounds like she will get it. They will help her and give you a piece of mind.

Try not to worry about what other people might think. If she gets the help now it will aid her in her future years. You can support her and love her like mom's do.

Sending you a big hug!
