Hey @hopeful well done on reaching out and sharing this story about what your daughter is going through.
Sounds like a tough time for both of you... I can't imagine how you would have felt when she told you she wouldn't be here long, but also sounds like you're doing the right things by taking the time out to sit down and speak with her.
Initially I would like to introduce you to some free immediate support services which could be good to have on hand..
1. Kids Helpline help adolescents (14-25) going through a tough time - they also have webchat available if she is not keen on the phone.. If she does want to call the phone number is 1800 55 1800.
2. This next service I think could be really good for you, mainly because it provides as a great support not only for people who are at risk of suicide, but also to support family members of people who are self harming and threatening suicide. They are called Suicide Callback Service 1300 659 467. Both these services are free and are available 24/7.
In terms of ongoing support, have you considered checking out available counsellors in your area via Relationships Australia [click]?
Of course this forum can be a great resource for support as well, so again well done on sharing your story, and know that you're not alone in this
