Bad Day

[magicsheep]

Hi Everyone,

Started the day off really well after my trip yesterday but i have had a really bad afternoon.

My teenage daughter was feeling really depressed a few weeks ago and had thoughts of suicide etc. She didn't tell us this directly we were told by one of her friends. I have supported her in anyway I can and she was doing quite well.

Today she seems a bit low again and of course all my fears came back about her doing something to harm herself. Depression/suicide has a history in my family and I'm worried sick right now. The symptoms are doing there best right now to pull me down.

I am trying so hard to keep positive and that teenagers do go through this and majority come out the other side.

Any words of support or anyone who has been through this would be appreciated.

Ellen,
My daughter has been to the GP and was refered to a psychiatrist as with all mental health problems the wait is certainly not a speedy one.
My children mean the world to me and it's having a devastating effect on me not knowing what will happen next.

Thank you so much Ellen, for the support.
