[QUOTE="totoro, post: 59409, member: 3155"] Emily- As you probably remember K has this issue as well. She says it unprovoked and at times out of nowhere, she will become completely depressed and say she wants to die or her long life to end. I agree with Smallworld that it is a sense of hopelessness. For us I think K is so confused as to what is going on in her head and why she is feeling the way she is that she just wants it to end... I just had a talk with the psychiatric hospital this a.m about this. But not to scare you, but this is part of the reason why K is partially hospitalized right now. because her talk of wanting to die was not a tantrum, they call it suicidal ideation. While everyone involved thinks she will not really try to kill herself, we don't know how she will react in the future. We need to teach her NOW how to deal with these feelings and help her become stable. It took us a long time to get anyone to take us seriously. When one of our young ones is saying this and it is not "just a tantrum" in a teen, I would take it seriously, because even if they will not hurt themselves, they are still asking for help. Good luck and I hope you are feeling OK!!! [/QUOTE]
