Thank you @Dakotah for some really amazing advice from your experience- and for sharing all of these things that are helping you get through such a painful experience.
Self-harm is not something any parent could feel prepared to deal with - and yet all of you are doing such an incredible job of supporting your daughters, and each other.

Hi @Oceanmom and welcome to the forum - thank you for posting about your daughter, it must be a really scary and painful situation for you.
It sounds like you are being amazingly supportive and caring towards your daughter through this - that she is seeing a counsellor is a great first step. Is your daughter open to getting help?
It is so important that you get help and support through this too - it sounds like you've been dealing with so much on your own - that must be so tough. :( Is the person you are seeing for help a counsellor as well? It might be worth giving them a few sessions before deciding if they are the right fit for your or not?
We are all here to listen and support you as well - there are many other parents going through similar situations - I hope hearing from @Dakotah and @sunflowermom has given you some hope and solidarity. You're not alone
