Gratitude Changes Everything May 2, 2020 | By Michelle Graff-Radford, HABIT Yoga Instructor (@michellegraffradford)Comment receiving replies
My 13 year old granddaughter is now in residential care after after a suicide attempt and anorexia. She was in a Behavioral hospital for a month. My prayer is for to realize how beautiful and how loved she is by family and friends and not listen to the voices in her head. She is still self harming and losing weight. I am thankful she is receiving treatment from a respected care team.

@damlady2 - My heart and prayers are going out to you and your family. I hope the residential care helps her re-connect with the beauty that is inside her. I had a friend whose daughter was anorexic and it was just horrible for the family to watch how she was hurting herself, but the residential treatment turned things around and she is now a thriving, healthy college student. I'm wishing the best for all of you. And if you have a chance, join us over on the other group where we are doing a Gratitude Group. Would love for you to be part of it. Just click here:

Hi, @damlady2 - I can imagine this has been very hard with your granddaughter.
I wanted to suggest this discussion on self-harm here on Mayo Clinic Connect that might be useful for you related to her situation:
