My son had his first suicide attempt at 8. He SI by picking at his skin. Until he went on an AP he continued to have those thoughts nightly while crying hysterically how horrible he is (when his mood stabilizer ended for the day) Melatonin helped him sleep but the AP helps control his SI and his mood after hi I think recently he mentioned something serious where his therapy increased his therapy.

It doesn't sound like your therapist and psychiatrist are talking to each other and they should have very open communication. I assume that your psychiatrist doesn't know she self harms. Does her therapist even know? Tell her that you'll be there with her while she tells them but that's what they're there to help with.
