My daughter is going thru a rough time and go has signed her off work, put her on waiting list for counselling and given her anti-depressants. She admitted to me last night that she's sat looking at the tablets wondering how many is 'enough' and that she ' just wants it all to stop'

I have been through periods of depression myself but seeing my 'baby' feeling this way is just so much worse. She doesn't live here with me so I can't even do the normal day to day caring stuff for her and she's preceding to spend time at her house..

Just dont know what to do and needed to get it out

I'm so sorry I have no advice to offer, but I expect others will be along soon who can help more than I can. Do you think going to see her/having her to see you this weekend might help both of you as it sounds like she needs more support than the medical profession is able to offer right now? You'd be able to give her some practical help as well as emotional support, but I do realise this isn't a coping strategy, just something really short term.

[j00lz_12366]

I'd like to meet up but she's wanting to stay home-I have no idea what will happen on mon-she's due back in work-new job-and I have no idea what will happen, I texted her dad I was worried and asked him to keep a eye on her-we have no contact and he has expressed the opinion that if he sees me walking down the street he will cross the rd to avoid me-because I left the marriage-so I am aware of fact he may well have kept some of this from me-I talk to my daughter pretty much everyday and we see each other at least once a week-she's 20 so obv more independent than it may seem from what I've said

Thanks for replying

Don't know what to say, but just wanted to send a big hug.

I wish I could offer you some help. Would a phone call to Samaritains help, if only for someone for you to talk to. They may have suggestions of other people to talk to who can give you more practical help.

I also think your ex should put personal things aside between you two and for both of you to be able to concentrate on your daughter.

 

Sending you and your daughter (((hugs))).

My ED is a Social Worker and at the moment she is working with the local mental health Crisis Team - they go out and see people who are at risk of suicide and put in place any help they need to get them through the crisis.

 

She works out of the local hospital mental health unit so hopefully there will be something similar in your area - suggest you contact social services or the mental health unit at your local hospital.

 

Such a worry for you x

[Bramble]

I really feel for both of you (really, truly, I do)

I'm wondering if you could suggest going to visit your Daughter's GP with her to help her explain how she is feeling at present. Failing that, if you were to call your Daughter's GP and tell him/her what your daughter has told you, the GP might keep a closer eye on her - obviously the GP won't discuss your Daughter with you due to patient confidentiality but s/he might be prepared to just listen to what you have to say?

Failing all else please tell your daughter, from me, to take the tablets as prescribed and things WILL get better - it takes time, but it does improve.

Sending you both hugs xxxx

[Couperwife]

sending hugs from here too

 

I think talking to daughters GP would be a good idea, it will give you someone to talk to and then they can decide on the best action

 

more hugs

Just had her bf on phone,saying he's worried as she was really upset this morning, saying she doesn't want to be here anymore etc.. He's also going to talk to her dad-I texted him lastnight but he hasn't contacted daughter and is staying with his gf for next few days

[abwsco]

Oh, what a worry for you. Sending you loads of {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} and I hope things will be OK.

[Chucky Mama]

I really feel for you and your daughter. The good thing is that she is vocalising how she is feeling and whilst she thought about doing something she didn't and was brave enough to tell you. Are you able to go and stay with her at her house for a few days? 20 is still so very young and she may benefit from being scooped up and looked after by her mum. Being with her to ensure that she is taking her meds, eating and sleeping may make all the difference in the short term and may impact on how well she feels supported in the long term. I can be hard for young people to ask for the help that they need as they feel that they are 'all grown up'. I think that speaking to her GP would be a good idea. If they have all the details they can better provide the help that she needs. She may not be giving them all of the information during consultations. Whatever you decide to do, I know it will be your best so please try not to beat yourself up about the situation. Sending hugs and positive thoughts

[freddie]

Go to her. now.

the hsptl will have an Oasis, where she can go , they will help.

Get BF to dial samaritans, and hand her the phone, then he leaves the room. they are brilliant.

I do so feel for you, and for her.

[ClaireG]

If you can get hold of her GP i would. In my experience the mental health crisis team are also excellent.

[ClaireG]

If you can't get hold of anyone as she is feeling suicidal, get her to A&E.

[kazmac]

You do need to do something now.

Usually voicing suicidal thoughts is a plea for help and it's good that your daughter has done that, but not good that she is feeling that way.

Phone your daughter's GP surgery, explain the situation and ask to speak to the duty doctor asap. Get an appointment for her asap and see if you or someone else can go with her.

Can you get to your daughter to be with her? Or arrange for someone else to be with her?

Could you try to get her to call the Samaritans or Breathing Space or something? Numbers are 08457 909090 and 0800 838587 respectively - but I'm in Scotland so don't know if these are national numbers or not. They probably are.

[Egluntyne]

Sorry to hear this. I agree with those who suggest that you speak to her GP, urgently.

xx

[mollyripkim]

Don't know what to say other than to reiterate what others have said, that you need help to cope with this. Sending lots of hugs to you both. It's so good that she is able to talk to you about how she is feeling.

[craftyhunnypie]

I hope she can get the right help soon! Big hugs to you both. I agree talk to her GP & if you truly can, go to her as soon as possible.

[Plum]

She will feel better having said that to you though it is horrid to hear. Hugs for you it's horrid having your child in a dark place.

[Seagazer]

Please, please get her to see someone urgently. She needs to be taken care of.

 

I've recently had a family death due to this and it really must be taken notice of and acted on.
