Luckily a small one, and she told me straight away. I took her to A & E, she was in hospital for 2 nights and came home yesterday.

She has been depressed and anxious for a while, and we had her first assessment with CAMHS last Tuesday, but to cut a long story short she is having friendship problems and things kicked off over the weekend so I am sure that tipped her over the edge. I have been umming and ahhing about posting since Monday, but honestly just feel shell shocked and don't know quite how to put it in words. We have another assessment meeting with CAMHS on Tuesday, so I know we are on the right track.

Has anyone else had to deal with a similar situation? I'd really welcome any advice or stories about how you came through it. TIA
