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?

I've had similar issues with DS & DGS... Police have been phoned & were very helpful.
Hope you find your DD OK.

Call 999 if you want to.
Personally I'd start with 101 - they're pretty good where I live.

I would hope my neighbours would knock if they needed help to look for someone

I would definitely call, she is vulnerable. I hope she is home with you very soon

Call them, better safe than sorry.

I hope she's home and all is well.

Hope she's home op.

Hope all is ok

Hope everything is ok.

I hope your daughter is okay Op.

hope everything is okay op youdon't have to update obviously but people are thinking about your situation and want things to be o.k with your dd.

When I had cause for concern about my adult ds I rang the local mh team. They had people ready to see him when the police found him. The police came straight away. He had support offered. And took it. Don't be afraid to take control op. Or at least try to. It is your place to intervene ime...

Hope everything is ok

Yes definitely tel the police emergency services as she has been having in the past sucidial thoughts

Also contact Mind charity (there have infor on the internet about mental(emotional health awareness and support services,
(they also have centres that provide extra support such as activities to with emotional health well being and daytrips too,
activities can include arts and crafts walking/photography session, book group, (spiritual discussion group ,mediation ,gardening club and even a meals in the day,only charge for 3.50 for roast dinners etc once or twice a week.
they also provide counselling therapy and can offer ,taillight support service for in the night times/early hours support,

I have often attended a Mind centre myself as I struggle with emotional health issue due to crap childhood in children's home in midlands .

Mind tel contact details and address of their offices and mind centre all on the internet for you

Hope she's ok OP

Hope she's ok op?

Also look on the internet for other mental health well being organisations and charties online

I think it be beneficial for your daughter to look into doing volunteering work doing stuff that she is interested in whatever that is !
she use this voluntary work experience for improving CV and for a job reference from voluntary work boss/manageress.,
plus there is opportunity of learning new skills and making new friends
Also she would gain much needed self Cofindence from this experience to in the near future into exploring getting paid work job.

Also maybe your daugjter prefer to do a college course whatever that could be you could find out a out that on the internet and the young persons career office ,
just like finding out about volunteering work too in same way,

Its not healthy at all being stuck in the house isolated from her friends etc all the time
No wonder her mental health is suffering so much !

At least there is a glimmer of hope widening with lockdown restrictions finally lifting !
Thank god for that !

She came home just as I was about to call. Was very upset so couldn't update straight away.
Thankyou everyone

I'm so glad she's home safe. Much love to you both.

Whew! Take care both of you

So glad she’s back ok

that is such good news - you must have been worried out of your mind!

I hope it doesn't sound inappropriate and obviously I am not downplaying her mental health conditions but there is a lot of research now linking your microbiome (gut bacteria essentially) with mental health. There can also be other physical causes like undiagnosed coeliac etc.

If you want to find out more about what I've researched so far feel free to let me know on here or dm but Michael Moseley has written some very useful books about this. It probably wouldn't account for all of the issues but it could help to calm down anxiety etc and is easily managed by adding good bacteria to her diet.

That's great news she's back. As it was first time out alone in a year would she be OK to take her phone next time so you can see her location?

What a relief! Poor girl - and poor you.

I would ring 999 - I say this from having been through similar situation &advice I was given by MH - they can always suggest or contact others on your behalf
101 known by many as NHS redirect (& that's from people within the NHS)

I would call 999 rather than mess about with 101.
