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?

Maybe try and broach her seeking help. Prevention being better than cure...

We've tried getting help, nothing so far has made much of a difference. Any support she has had over the last year has just been a few minutes over the phone from her bed so hasn't helped with getting her out of the house, if anything has made her worse.
She's just fed up and frustrated now.

Hopefully face to face appointments will be available soon... My ds bought himself a fish tank and some tropical fish. They really improved his mh.

@draining 999 do welfare checks and I've seen people call them for less. At the end of the day they will decide their end how best to help ect.

If you worried about calling 999 you can call 101.

Oh OP how stressful for you both. Very glad to hear she’s home safely.

I hope for you both that you’re never in this position again but if you are please don’t hesitate to call 999. I was in a similar situation last year with a family member and they were brilliant, reassuring and so helpful.

Flowers to you both.

There is also another mental health charity called The Links they also have centre,that provide mental health well being activities to improve and maintain good mental health well being,
just like Mind uk charity does.!

I live in Wales area,
(I am not sure The Links charity have office and centres in England ?

If they have?
this charity tel contact/address details should be on the internet.

Also the Police/emergency services will if someone mentality(emotional) is unwell /or vulnerable they will find out/pass them on to the mental health well being support services.

Have you seen a good Doctor for her mental emotional issues then?
Do this As soon as possible make a appointment for her,

Tell her its not a weakness to seek help, a lot of young people are really struggling with their mental health well being under Lockdowns pandemic ,
tell her not to feel ashamed or embarrassed its understandable she is struggling in this way ,
this pandemic and Lockdowns frankly is a bloody nightmare situation.

Also she can do a self referal for help to be put on a waiting list for Mind charity centre activities or you can refer her to put on their waiting list for Mind charity /The Links charity.

Ask Doctor to help with putting a federal for these support services for mental health well being if she likes,
Best of luck

Take care DaffodilCakeBrew
