I have posted about DD before. Broken by lockdown, anorexia age 12, school drop out, burn out, self harm extreme. We are five years in.
we have repeatedly been told she doesn’t qualify for help and have tried various therapists ourselves.
she is out of school and self learning. Very lonely. Seems ok recently ot so I thought.
due to intense sadness last night she took an overdose of aspirin. I suspect a cry for help and she phoned childline who got her to phone 111. (She didn’t think to wake any of us). I suspect A and E will just kick us out soon.
we are a loving family but this is a huge setback.
we are Edinburgh based, desperate desperate for the right help.
private psychiatrist? Do we suggest sertraline? Anyone in Scotland have any good suggestions?
thanks from a broken mother
