My daughter made a suicide attempt

[Gs172003]

Sometimes when a person is bad enough to be suicidal, even as an adult, it's helpful to say, "I'm going to help you sign up for outpatient services." I had a suicide attempt in 1995, lived through it, my husband read my suicide note and woke me up, and when I said I was ok, he went to work. If he had said I'm taking you to the hospital, I would have gone and received help. Not that this applies to you. If it feels like something you can do, great, if not, great.

She had agreed to outpatient intensive therapy while she was at the hospital overnight but didn't do it.

I'm sorry, this has to be hard.
