This is hard to share but I feel the need to so if anyone else can relate maybe they could give me advice. Monday my husband, my daughter, and I went out to do errands and since we were at Walmart to get new tires on my husbands car we shopped and just got goofy at the store until the car was done. We laughed so much and cut up we thought it was a wonderful day.

When we got home she went to do her thing and her Dad and I had projects to work on in the back yard. Projects BTW that were not going as planned. In fact our mothers came out to watch and got amused at our struggles. Everything seemed well. We came inside and started to work on starting dinner. My daughter came to me very distraught and said she needed to talk right away.

We went in private and she told her Dad and I that she had taken an overdose of ibuprofen. We headed straight away to the ER. I have to say that I thank our dear Lord and Savior that she did not take more than she did. Being her Autistic self she counted them and took only 15 and I will forever be thankful for that. She did not have to have much intervention other than a huge amount of I.V. fluid to flush her system.

We were so scared that they might want to admit her for psychiatric treatment and were scared how she would react to that. Thank goodness the Social Worker that evaluated her and then talked to us said she thought this was a one off and that she thought we had all of the support in place so she could come home with us.

She has struggled so much these last couple years and has done so much work to get through this that we thought we were in a better place.

We have spent the day today, after a session with her therapist, locking up all the medication, locking up any sharp objects, and scouring her room along with making order of things.

I feel my heart has been torn to pieces. However, I know that if this had been any more serious my heart would be shattered into millions of tiny glass shards.

Through our session with her therapist we have a plan moving forward and our daughter says she has renewed faith and hope and knew right away she made the wrong decision and did not want to die.

Please I ask of you all to cover my daughter Cecelia with your prayers that she may find comfort in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I asked him for help and he gave me this charge to bring her to Him. I am championing that charge and she is a believer. I am in need of a village to give us strength and community to be united in Christ.

We are okay for now but I am in fear for what may come. I will stay forever steadfast and in belief in the Lord. I know these trials are for a reason. We will soldier on! Please pray for me to have strength to be the best mother I need to be.🙏 Please also pray for my daughter that her connection with Jesus be strengthened.🙏✝️🕊️❤️‍🩹

I love you all my Bible in 365 community
