hey all I really need some prayers for my 16yr old daughter for the last little bit she used to struggle with a eating disorder ( anorexia novia) and then was diagnosed with autism high functioning , she now has suicidal tendances and also a borderline personality disorder and gender confusion she got kicked out of school recently long story short she has bad thoughts and she did have one about a teacher that she wanted to harm this teacher she asked to call her phycologist which she did but since it was a threat the therapist or phycologist had to report it but my daughter was looking for advice because its part of her dbt therapy when she feels like that to reach out and call and unfortunately in Canada the therapist had to call the school and tell them we had a huge meeting which led to school at home for the rest of the year and it cant even be at the school she wants its like a minimal low grade gets you by kind of classes which makes her more depressed this happened at the end of January .

after that happened my daughter wouldn't spend any time with us she recently in the last 2 weeks has attempted twice to take her life one by jumping out of a moving car and the other attempt was last night when she took a handful of Tylenol she left suicide notes for both times. shes physically okay they wont let me up at the hospital they believe this is for attention and the sad thing is shes 16 they technically don't need to tell me anything and if she doesn't want me us there i cant go my husband and i are so stressed , we have 2 younger kids at home and to be honest I'm to the point now with going through this for 2 years that i want the health care system to help the only thing they do is send her 2 hours away to a bigger hospital and tell me to pick her up the next day they say her staying in the hospital actually does more damage because they say she wants to be there i don't get that because i don't understand it really and its tough cause i have to keep my other 2 safe .

child protective service wont do anything for my 16 year old because shes over the age of where they can do anything to help the only thing they can do is help with the younger kids but they want me to go to all these events and i cant when i have this going on so i declined and there's nothing they can do . what i really want is for my oldest to feel better and i think her being in a program that she stays in or a group home for a bit would take the stress off her and off us .

please if someone could pray for us for strength and answers I know God is with her I believe HE is going to use this for good it will be a testimony for His glory just please pray that we have the strength love and peace to guide her through it that even if she doesn't talk to us, that maybe there's someone that will cross her path and show her the light of Jesus i love her so much and i feel so out of options for her i believe God will provide a way i just don't want to feel this sadness anymore I'm trying so hard to keep my eyes on Jesus and not on this world
thanks so much for reading and i just want to say I'm not looking for medical or any legal advice i just need some prayer warrors some friends borthers and sisters to bind together in prayer for me . I Just pray I felt hope and i miss the joy i used to feel i know in the bible it says there's a time for everything so I'm holding on to Jesus and trusting in his word, the verse thats so powerful to me which im hanging onto is this I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” and I believe it with my mind soul and heart , thank you for reading God bless you all
