To phone 999?

[draining]

DD is 22, has anxiety and depression. She hasn't been able to leave the house alone for over a year. She SH's and has had suicidal thoughts in the past.
There was a small argument this morning then suddenly she said she just wanted to go out for a walk and left leaving her phone here. (she never really uses or takes her phone out when shes with me but would when she used to go out alone)
I know it should be good that she feels able to go out by herself and it would be good for her to clear her head and get some space but I'm worried sick, she left so suddenly and something doesn't feel right.
This was only 10 minutes ago.

I want someone to find her and bring her back so I know shes okay. WIBU to phone 999? Are they going to care or do anything?

Totally out of character behaviour from.a vulnerable person. Hit the big red button, gather help. I hope it's ok

If your worried about her mental state and what she might do I would 100% call.

Red flag.
Yes, phone them.
You will never forgive yourself if you don't and something happens. I hope she is ok.

Do you think she is at risk of harm? Does she walk off normally?

Absolutely fine to do that if there are signs that she's suicidal. You could simultaneously walk to where you think she might be if you have any ideas or send another family member with a phone to do that.

Is it possible for you to follow her out and track her down if this just happened?

Definitely phone - I don't say that often or lightly. Thoughts with you x

Yes phone them

I hope she is home very soon

You know your daughter, OP. I would follow your instincts and call. If it turns out to be a false alarm, then they will understand. Better to be safe than sorry.

Do you have any idea where she could be? Do you drive?

I'd phone 101 and see what they say. I wouldn't phone 999. Chances are the fact she's just left and hasn't made any threats of self harm nothing will get done immediately. You'd probably be better initially going out yourself and having a look.

Hope she is home soon, I would call xx

Can you follow her or look for her yourself?

Just now it may or may not be a concern. Understandably, you are worried and jump straight to this possibility, but atm there is not any immediate reason to think that something is amiss.

Did she say how long she planned to be out for?

Phone 101.
Good luck.
Come back and tell us when she's safely home. Xx

Can you also call everyone you know to look for her too?

Hope it's a storm in a teacup and she's home soon!

If this was my daughter and I was concerned about her mental state, yes I would, without hesitation.

Yes, phone them. You know your daughter and if this is so out of character and given her MH I would call. Definitely call 101 for advice if you feel hesitant to call 999 though and they will escalate on your behalf if they feel there is a need to.

I wouldn't blame you for calling the police. I'd also go out and look for her. Anyone else who can help you look?

As pp’s have said. If there is a reasonable chance that she will harm herself then yes, phone.

Good luck .

Any updates OP? I hope she's back

Hopefully she's home again by now or that you've at least found her. If not, I'd ask neighbours to help look too.

Is everything ok OP? Hope she's home safe and well

I truly hope she is safe and just needs a bit of space or time . I don't think it's unreasonable to call the police , you know her best , if you're concerned you're right to be x

You know your daughter best. If you believe she is at risk of harming herself, then you need to inform the police, who will class her as a vulnerable person and pull out all the stops to help find her - or at least I hope they would!

It’s obviously out of character for her as you’ve said she hasn’t left the house alone in over a year. if you are worried I would ring just to be on the safe side.
