TRIGGER WARNING - suicide attempt

She's taken an overdose. And it's my fault, I left my medication where she could find it. Shit, shit, shit.

@MummyOf4Kids . I hope your dd recovers.

@MummyOf4Kids

My dd 17 is also in hospital after another OD It's so hard as parents not to blame ourselves but it's easier said than done. Happy to handhold, I know exactly what you're going through

I know it is. I am so sorry about your daughter.

Thank you for your kind words. DD is on the mend thankfully although I fear it won't be long until we're back here again. She last did it 3 weeks ago, it's awful not knowing how to make it better for them

Sorry to hear that Mummy of 4kids. I am so glad that your daughter is much better now. 💐

Handhold I hope everything is ok x

Thinking of you & your DD

Handhold. I hope your dd is recovering. Big hugs xxx

I’m glad your dd is recovering. 🌻

In my thoughts,OP.

As she hasn't been rushed in to emergency care, it sounds as though she is not at risk of death.

Not your fault. Young people do crazy things. Let's hope she gets some help.

Thinking of you.

OP had another thread entitled DD in hospital in ITU. I am not clever enough to link to it but for those wanting an update she says she has lost this thread.

Here’s OP’s new thread

Thanks @LemonViolet

I'm sorry about your daughter, I hope she recovers quickly

I’ve been thinking about you both today @JackOfGentleman

lemonviolet MN have closed the other thread just now to avoid confusion.

Coming over from the other thread. Fingers are crossed she begins to pick up

I read your thread and just wanted to say how desperately sorry I am and that I am thinking of you.

Your daughter is in the best place possible and you need to know this is NOT your fault as others have said.

I read your thread yesterday and was thinking about you today.
Yes, as others have said, she's in the best place to be looked after and monitored v closely.
What you have to do is look after yourself as well - is there anybody checking in on you too?

Hmm seems more likely to confuse the OP tbh!!! @RivkaMumsnet @MNHQ would it not have made more sense to close this thread and leave the distressed OP the most recent thread active?

Anyway @

@JackOfGentleman we are all here for you!!!

Thinking of you.

OP's daughter was in Resus. So she must have been in a bad way. OP hasn't got back, probably too stressed, but can think of nothing more worrying than to have a loved child suffering so much mental torment that they do something as serious as this.

It's really hard being a young person/young adult, as things seem so intense at that phase of life.

@WhenISnappedAndFarted

OP it's not your fault.

My DM has a history of trying to commit suicide and honestly, they'll find a way if that's what they want. I used to hide my medication after one attempt, she tried a different way. If it wasn't your pills it would have been something else or she'd have found them.

Has your daughter been getting help?

Exactly this. Don't blame yourself. I hope you are being supported xxx

Anyway @

I completely agree with this and would urge people to read the OPs other thread before posting as her daughters condition has changed from when she last posted on this one.
