number one child is in hospital again [x posted]

Oh Swampy, I'm so so sorry. What a horrible situation to be in. The only thing I hope you can take from this is that she told the councellor she had taken them. That is a positive sign. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh swampy, don't ever say that, noone deserves this. Your daughter is clearly very troubled and being in hospital is the best thing for her and you all as a family. I'm just sorry you are having to go through this again ?

If we can do anything to help just say.

Oh Swamps, how dreadful for all of you. I wish I could offer some kind of advice, or say something helpful. Instead, just know that I'm thinking of you. I hope E gets the help she needs and starts to pull through soon xxx

I'm really to sorry to read this, I hope she recovers well and hasn't done any long term damage. You must be at the end of your tether ?

I'm so sorry to hear this. Big inadequate ?

You always knew that this wouldn't be a quick recovery, things are generally generally getting better, and she did go straight to tell someone which is great. She will get there.

Oh god that's terrible. I do hope they are right that they got to her in time. Thinking of you.

I am so sorry that you sre dealing with this again.

non of this is your fault, hopefully the mental health peopl ecan help her out and give her some hope.

sending you huge hugs

Oh Swampy, I wish there were something we could do to help. You're all going through the wring aren't you. Much love to you all, especially you and Elizabeth ?

Oh Swampy i'm so sorry to hear this ?

Perhaps the severity of the reaction to the paracetamol will help Elizabeth understand that her actions have consequences and maybe that will give her cause to stop and think about what she is doing, not only to herself but to all your family. Maybe then in the future she will seek the help of the counsellors or the family when she has an urge to harm herself. Hoping this is a turning point for the better for you all.

you would think that wouldn't you? but she had this reaction last time she took them so she knew what was likely to happen this time and she still did it...

Swampy, ?

I'm so sorry to read this Swampy. I hope that E gets the help she needs recover from this. Thinking of you ?

So very sorry to hear this has happened again. I'll say some prayers for you all. Stay strong - though I don't think you have a choice in that eh? Really hope things improve quickly.

Oh hell swampy - how awful. I can't offer any advice but I can tell you that you are the most fabulous of mums and I hope and pray that things get better for you all soon.

Much love

Joflake - it is the third overdose she has taken this year - she spent the summer holidays in hospital then a secure unit - she only came home to start college a couple of weeks ago.

thank you anyway <weak smile>

Oh swampy im so sorry you are going through this, must be so hard with the little ones as well. have a hug and i hope e gets all the support and help she needs. have you had any support at all through this~?

Oh Swampy - I don't have anything helpful or constructive to add, but wanted to give you a hug, as you sound as though you need one.

? Thinking of you and wishing you lots of strength to get through this.

Swampy, I am so terribly sad to read this. My heart goes out to you all. Please don't despair- things CAN get better with time, you've got to believe me. You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers over teh coming weeks. Be strong, but don;t try to be too strong, if that makes sense. Please scream if you need any help. ?

I am so sorry - it must be a dreadful time for you all. Have another completley inadequate ? and I will be thinking of you. I hope she gets better.

Oh Swampy, I'm so sorry, I hope something clicks with E now and she can start to move forward.

?

So sorry to read this Swampy, I really hope she gets better soon ?

Oh God you really are going through it at the moment aren't you

I can't add to what others have said, but just wanted to give you this ?

?

Oh no, how awful. I hope that she continues to get the help she needs. Must be so hard for you to deal with.

Swampy, firstly ? for you all, I think you need it.

Having been a troubled teen my heart goes out to you and E. Things will get better with time, I know that is very hard to see this right now.

Thinking of you all, not the same situation as E but having been in that cycle I can appreciate how frustrating it can be.

Oh swapmps ?, I had hoped things were getting better. Lets hope E gets better soon

Oh darling I'm so sorry ?

Huge ? to you. It all sounds so hard. I would feel so powerless in your shoes.

Hope things pick up soon.

So sorry to hear this ??

Swampy, I am so sorry to hear this ?

I'm actually quite annoyed on your behalf that no progress seems to have been made with the stay in the unit. Surely there is more that they could have done to help her?

Thinking of you all

Just had the woman from ICOS on the phone cheerily telling me that they will be in to assess elizabeth in a couple of days to say when she will be able to come home.... I told them that until she is prepared to get some help i don't feel that i can have her at home cos i can't trust her.

she sounded quite shocked so i spelled out my concerns... she said the alternatives to her coming home are a further admission to hospital or going thru social services.... I said that i don't really want her going into foster care - would rather she was home - but that given her state of mind at the moment i think that a hospital of some sort is probably more appropriate - i said as well that i didn't think the unit she was on previously had helped her particularly so i wondered if there was an alternative to that.

i think she understands where i am coming from tho now.....
