Suicidal daughter

nilcarborundum · 17/04/2019 21:54

I'm scared out of my wits. My daughter, who has MH problems has driven off in my car taking all her meds. I've had a few messages saying This is the end and Don't call the police. I don't know what to do. She's not answering my messages now and I don't know where she is. I have no one to turn to. We only had a silly argument about something and she punched me in the chest and then ran up to get her meds and was gone before I knew it .

This must be very hard for you, call the police, if she has her phone on her they might be able to pinpoint her whereabouts, she then needs help.

Outnotdown · 17/04/2019 21:56

I would call the police and take their advice

Imustbemad00 · 17/04/2019 21:56

Sorry you are going through this. I’ve been through similar andnits horrible. I’d call the police for her own safety.

crazycatlady5 · 17/04/2019 21:57

Call this police ASAP. I’m sure they can trace her number. Try not to panic xxx

Samind · 17/04/2019 21:58

Absolutely phone the police. Has she done this before? 💐For you. Hopeall is ok.

CustardySergeant · 17/04/2019 21:58

I would call the police too.

PurpleDaisies · 17/04/2019 21:58

Have you phoned the police?

Inadvertentlybrilliant · 17/04/2019 21:58

I second what others have said. Call the police. She may need sectioning for her own safety.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/04/2019 21:59

Oh Good God. I can't imagine your terror. Both your minds must be in an absolute turmoil. I'd personally say. You have to call the police. She's now a vulnerable missing person. XXX
Thinking of you.

Sally2791 · 17/04/2019 21:59

Police asap

Villanellesproudmum · 17/04/2019 22:02

Police

billybagpuss · 17/04/2019 22:02

Police no question about it. 💐

CaptainCabinets · 17/04/2019 22:04

Wtf call the police! Get off MN!

QueenBeex · 17/04/2019 22:04

You need to ring the police asap and explain she's got MH issues, she's took all her meds and tell them what she's said in the texts

As impossible as it is, stay calm you need a clear head to assist the police and make sure you give them all the information you can

QueenBeex · 17/04/2019 22:07

also text her back, keep her talking. You need to keep her attention, keep her engaged in conversation with you. The whole time she's replying to your msgs you know she's well and functioning

Serin · 17/04/2019 22:13

If shes angry at you, could you get a friend or relative to telephone her and try to keep her talking?
But definitely agree with everyone else re please ring the police.

WoodenToyKitchen · 17/04/2019 22:15

Really? Your daughter is in suicidal distress. You have the police.

Phone the police, get off mumsnet

QOD · 17/04/2019 22:25

Oh op I’m so sorry. I’m sort of half way to where you are. Dd took an overdose last week and we had already hidden hers and our car keys and then I hid all the meds.
I understand why you’ve posted first. Scared to do the wrong thing and set them off again 😕
I’d have not understood. I do now.
You do need to call. She has the meds and she’s in a car.
Big hugs

gilchrist168 · 17/04/2019 22:33

Police asap.

MalcomSaville · 17/04/2019 22:35

Woodentoykitchen don't be a bitch.
OP...as others have said, call the police, explain what has happened And make sure you tell them it's a welfare call. I've done this, it's horrendous, I can only cross my fingers for you all.

WoodenToyKitchen · 17/04/2019 22:43

No. I'm realistic, not a bitch.

A few years ago, this was me. And nothing was achieved by vague posting.

A girl needs help. Mumsnet is not the place

QueenBeex · 17/04/2019 22:44

Op has a suicidal daughter and people think now is a good time to make sly comments, how supportive. Flowers
She was probably just in a state of shock when she came on here to write a 2 minute post for some advice, wouldn't surprise me if the moment after she hit "post" she then rang the police/her daughter.

I did phone the police, they are with her now. Thank you to everyone who's helped me tonight. I only need to deal with the fallout of my actions when she comes home now 😐
