I had to take dd to the GP this morning as an emergency as she said she wanted to kill herself yesterday. She has Aspergers and life is tough for her, it's all come to a head and she has had enough.
She isn't actually at risk of suicide but the fact that she feels so bad that she can only express it by saying she wants to die breaks my heart.
She doesn't want to do anything but she is bored. She is lonely but she is pushing me away.
She said she doesn't want to be around me right now and that she doesn't feel right in our home. We were able to stay at my sisters for 2 nights but we are back home now. I am really struggling to fight my feelings of rejection as I know this is not about me.
I don't know how to help her if she keeps pushing me away? We are waiting for a CAMHS referral but what can I do in the meantime? She said some very insightful things earlier which put me to shame. She was very clear that this is her battle not mine. She's my child though and I can't fix this but I so badly want to.
