Does your daughter accept that she has BPD?
Even talking about suicide can be scary, much less attempting. Do you feel comfortable talking about what happened?
I am taking a class for family members whose loved ones are chronically suicidal and it surprises me how fiercely they insist on calling 911, to not try and manage it ourselves. These are people who were suicidal and have created a life worth living for themselves doing peer counseling.
24/7 care and surveillance is not sustainable and giving in can, according to people who have shared their expertise with me, actually lead to an accidental suicide. It's so confusing, knowing what to do. I'm glad you're here and willing to learn with us as we walk this path.
