[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 707037, member: 1550"] Wrary Mom, there is nothing you CAN do. Your daughter knows where to go if she is suicidal. I used to thik that not over thinking about things I worry about would jinx my life and make things worse, like a superstotion. But that made me crazy and didnt help anything. Since you really cant help anyone you are worried about, it is good to learn to cope better. I had tons of therapy. I learned methods pf detaching that I did not know existed. Some did not help. Some did. I am not the same person who had so many swirling thoughts constantly scaring me and making peace impossible. My.mind is quiet now. Look up mindfulness and dialectal behavioral therapy. Its for borderline, but works fpr anypne. Its different than just talk therapy. If a nut job like me can change, anyone can :) i still have a 39 year old problem "child" and Goneboy who left ten or more years ago and has never come back. And I never met his kids. That hasnt changed. But i also have a great husband, three wonderful kids and an amazing grandchild and my dumb, easy job that I love, my hobbies, my groups, my spiritual awakening that keeps me optimistic...you must have great people and things in your life too. You can not be responsible for ypur loved ones, even though you want to. We have no legal or magical power to help or change them. Keep posting. We are so on your side! [/QUOTE]
