Hmmm, I agree that she might be trying to tell you that she is feeling really bad and wants help before she gets worse. I also think she could possiblely wany to be in an environment where she is being taken care of constantly. Now, I'm sure you do love and care for her, but still a hospital environment might have an appeal of safety and comfort that home doesn't.

When I was in the behavior ward, I was a teen, and I suppose I asked to go. I needed to make use of the services they offered.

It sounds like your DD can benefit from intensive therapy since she is willing to open up and talk. Hugs to your both!
