14 year old autistic (largely non-verbal) DD has had thoughts of suicide for a few weeks but no plans to do anything - until now. She’s been self harming by cutting her arms and thighs. School are aware. GP is aware. Private psychologist is aware.
I have just noticed the largest knife was missing from the knife block in the kitchen. Daughter had locked herself in bathroom with it.
Luckily I seem to have caught her before she did anything.
I am completely out of my depth. I don’t know what to do.
I phoned 111 spoke to crisis line. They said a nurse will phone back. I have no idea when. I’m too scared to sleep in case DD does anything.
hand hold please. Any advice?
