[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 574665, member: 14557"] I'm so sorry. Do speak with her therapist and psychiatrist about this. Hopefully they will be able to help her build up other coping mechanisms than self-harm before she grows to the critical age. Other than that I don't have any advice just lots of sympathy. It's about two years now from the day I and my husband were sitting in the addiction psychiatrist's office and were told that our son is in the high risk for suicide in future based on his issues and personality. He wasn't suicidal, but risk factors were there. We got lucky and he has been ready to work hard with building better coping mechanisms and at the moment it seems that risk is getting smaller all the time. I'm not paralysed by fear of this any more, but every time he is having really hard time, I can't help but worry a little. For him it would likely not be any thought out, long time considered solution. It would be impulsive thing while being unhappy and maybe drunk. That also means there would not be any real warning signs. Knowing that is a hard thing to live with. [/QUOTE]
