Hi @Snoopylove123, thanks for sharing that with us all. It must be such a difficult and scary time for you right now. I was wondering if you know whether your daughter is having any thoughts of suicide or ending her life? It can be a challenging conversation to have with your child but it is a really important one to have. We have some resources that might help here. This link contains a lot of information about self-harm. It is important to know that some cases of self-harm may require medical attention. This could involve calling 000 or taking your child to the hospital. Sorry for all the questions - it just helps to have a bit more context to the situation so we can understand better Lastly, I was wondering if your daughter has any professional supports in her life? I just wanted to say that it is great that this has been brought to your attention and that you are now reaching out for support.
I noticed you are not posting from Australia. Just so you know, we are an Australian service and therefore we offer referral to Australian services. You are more then welcome to use our forums but just know that some referral and resources may not be accessible or relevant to you

@Snoopylove123 This is great news! We are so pleased to hear your daughter is recovering
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
