Thank you all for everything so far. I forgot to mention a few things though...

She IS seeing a therapist at our university heath service. She's looking for a new one, but is rapidly losing patience (no openings for a month). She's got a meeting tomorrow to talk about medication. The problem is, I don't know if she can wait until the meetings are avaliable, and I don't know what to do sooner.

It's at a point where she hides inside an empty shell, and I have to fight to get her back out. I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to get her out. It's getting worse every time. This time she hid both in the bed and in the closet and would physically struggle with me each time I tried to do so much as hug her. It's bizarre, but *tickling* her brings her back. It makes her laugh, which in turn opens her up and makes her cry. Then she gets scared and tries to hide right back in her shell. I don't know what to do, because she's most dangerous to herself when she's in that shell. That's when she stops caring about everything, even me (who she usually cares about more than herself).
