Teen storming off

My DD15 (adhd, Hugh functioning) has just screamed at me to fuck off because I went in to her room to see why she was crying and throwing things. After a while I agreed to leave her alone to calm down but I just heard the front door slam and she's run off down the road.

AIBU to let her go to calm down? I read they need 20 minutes once there cortisol levels have gone up like that to be able to see reason so I don't want to make it worse by following her.

I suppose I have no real safety concerns given her age.

But I feel worried just sat here.

So as it to drip feed there has been self harm tho not for months

Blimey so she did come back but her friends mum came to collect her to take her round there. She's totally safe, I've no concerns about her welfare there. But it's such a kick in the teeth it's like when the chips are down she wants to be somewhere as far away from here as possible

Teens often prefer to talk to their friends about what’s bothering them, especially if it’s teenage type issues. I wouldn’t take it as a rejection OP. Likely she’ll go off and have a good moan with a friend and get it out of her system. Understand the storming off is worrying for you though.
