Hold on - you can't blame yourself. You didn't push the pills down her throat. Also blaming yourself will end up showing to her and possibly have adverse effects. I suggest telling her your sorry if you did anything to push her in that direction and then ask what you can do to change...start the convo there and let it take it's course. GL and glad she is ok

Well I'm sure it's a given, but she needs counseling for sure. She is lacking in ways to deal with whatever stresses are driving her need to take the pills or whatever it was she od'd on. Take her for one on one counseling, and you could use some too just to help you deal with it.. Then possibly if needed the two of you could do counseling together to better understand each other and what your needs are. It's so hard being a parent.. It's also hard being a teen.

Get counseling for yourself. Also, try a support group (free) locally through NAMI (national alliance for the mentally ill). Take advantage of every resource you can find. Be gentle with yourself!

There are usually 2 reasons for overdose a cry for help or a true wish to die to end their pain and suffering. i think if you try and talk to her get her to go see a Councillor. In a few cases it can be ralated to some form of abuse or mental illness. Just sometimes though. I used to be a mental health advacacy worker.

Try to avoid having her put in a mental hospital or taking prscribed medication. Mental hospitals are an escape which can lead to a long spiral in life and are useually assiciated with some doctor saying your daugher needs meds to survive. Meds are very addictive and have alot of side effects. There are alot of herbs she can take. One is Rescue remedy and there are others.

DON"T blame yourself! OK? That is NOT going to help your daughter. Realize she is her own person who is making decisions that you have no control over. Get her to a clinic or somewhere they can help counsel her. She is obviously crying out for help. BUT IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. Give yourself some space to try to step back and be objective as possible and start talking to health professionals.

This is a very scary thing, and it is ok to be scared! Recognize that you can be scared and human and not be able to control everything that she does and therefore you can't blame yourself and it serves no purpose to blame yourself. Just be there for her, she needs her mom, keep the lines of communication open, get her counseling, hopefully she is open to it, because she was obviously looking for help in some way, no matter how frustrated you get with her or angry with her or yourself even, stay with her and keep talking to her and letting her know you love her and are there for her, there is security for children in knowing they are loved no matter what they do! Good luck, thank God she is ok, stay open-minded, take care of her and yourself! Hugs!
