sleepless in NJ
Well i am supposed to be trying to sleep but my mind is a blurr of activity right now. Again this morning my daughter was committed to the psych ward. As I have posted before she is a cutter. She has adjustment disorder and it causes depression and she gets suicidal. I wish she would open up to us before it gets to this point! I feel like I am failing my kid and have no idea how to help her anymore! We are at our wits end and so are her other caregivers. Even the hospital is upset with her 3 week turnaround! This is the 3rd hospitalization for suicidal ideation in 3 months!! We have all kinds of support for her and she just keeps turning her nose up at it. I know it doesn't help when the people who called themselves her friends turn out to be back stabbers and talk about her behind her back. do they not realize that if they are not happy with her that is not the way to take care of it?? well I have had about 2 hours of sleep since 4:30 Thursday morning and it is now for all essential purposes after 1 am Saturday morning. Need to sleep but thought that maybe if I could get some of this out that I might feel a little better and calm my mind some. Not too sure it worked but I guess if I do not lie down and try to sleep again I will not know for sure! thanks for reading and I am sure that more will follow!

You are NOT failing her!! You're a good mommy, just remember being a teen sucks we wouldn't want those years back, and I believe it's even harder these days. Keep doing what you're doing she'll get better.
