I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'm very glad she felt comfortable being open with you and that is such a wonderful testament to your relationship. Big hugs to you.
Goodness, I am so sorry you both are going through this! I am so glad she talked to you, though, and that you responded as you did. You are doing all the right things, but this is still a very traumatic thing for you both to deal with.
I hope today is a better day, and they can figure out a treatment plan you are comfortable with. Please use this board for support when you need it - we are here for you! I'll be thinking of you.
You are a wonderful mother for listening to her and supporting her. It speaks volumes that she felt comfortable talking to you about how she was feeling. Sending lots of love and support your way.

I do not have any advice to offer, but I am thinking of you and your family. It is a wonderful thing that your daughter is able to be so open with her Mom.

Several years ago a friend of mine's daughter went through something absolutely horrific, and all the therapists, etc were so amazed at how quickly her daughter disclosed to her, that she must REALLY trust her. I see that here. You are her safe place, she went to you for help. And you are getting her help. You are clearly an amazing mother. I am sending allllll the good thoughts and vibes to both of you. Huge, huge hugs.
Big hugs to you and your daughter. You are an incredible support to her and while we are always here for you, I hope you have someone IRL to be there for you when you need it to.
Didn’t she have some major health issues and also come out recently? Those seem pretty traumatic or at least majorly impactful. Best wishes and glad she is getting the help she needs.
I'm praying for your DD, you, and your family. Thank you for being there for her, for taking her seriously and advocating for her. You are a wonderful mom.
Big hugs to you and your DD. It's wonderful that she is so open with you and recognized that she needed help right away. And ditto jezebel , trauma doesn't have to be big and loud, these recent events could have stressed her enough.

Sending big hugs and strength. I very rarely post here, but we’ve experienced something similar, and my daughter spent the first night in 44 days in our home last night. It can be so isolating and challenging as the parent. Please don’t hesitate to PM, and I am happy to send you my number to text or email if you would find it helpful.
I'm so sorry you and your DD are going through this. You must have a great relationship for her to be able to open up to you that way. I hope she gets the help she needs.
My DD recently admitted to having thoughts of suicide after months of crippling anxiety and depression. It's such a tough time for everyone. I'm here if you want to vent to a stranger

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Remember to take care of yourself too - you can't pour from an empty cup, as the saying goes.
You're doing great and you must be such a great mom to have her admit to you so quickly EXACTLY how she's feeling. Hugs and thoughts are coming your way!
I am so glad she got in and it sounds like she is wanting to be safe; this seems like a huge step! I am so sorry that you have to deal with this though. I cannot imagine how hard this is. Sending you all love and strength.
It's wonderful that she was honest and confided in you. And it's wonderful how much you support her. I've been through the situation with my son. Thank God he shared his struggle with me and that he took action.
Hugs to you. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk.

Thinking of you both and praying for peace for your both. You are an amazing mom and she doing an excellent job navigating this difficult situation. Hang in there.
