I'm a new member here as well. Im 25 years old and I have SI since I was a young teen,13. I never told anyone about it until recently. That is excellent that your daughter was able to have the courage to tell you. I think it means she wants help and she trusts you enough to get it for her. I finally opened up and told my husband. He is working with me to get me the help I need. I agree that SI is most often the least of the problems, it truly is the emotional pain that needs to be dealt with. Of course SI can be dangerous so you need to closely monitor her and make sure she is ok. Professional help, caring and supportive parents, understanding and time will get you all through this. If you would like to talk more in detail about my SI, you may private messege me. I'm starting to open up about it all but do not quite feel I am ready to open up on a community messege board but if letting you in on my reasonings and what happens to me when I SI will help you better understand your daughter then by all means I want to help and am willing to do so. Best of luck with everything and hug your daughter for me, I know what she is going through.
