Hi, welcome
I'm sorry this has occurred. I've had a brother and uncle pass away that way and my sister and I have both made attempts. We have bipolar in our family so up to 20% of us could pass this way.
So that support (if she allows) could include attending medical appointments followed always with a happy event like window shopping and a cuppa at a cafe. The balance from a challenge to a no stress activity can be a key routine.
When daughter is upset, crying, etc a hand on the shoulder is at times better than a "I have to fix this with conversation technique". That takes judgement and restraint. Not easy as you being a loving parent you want to "save her world".
The same blend comes in self support, all that giving to her need the balance for you, visit friends, a hobby at home, get Netflix, join a support group. etc.
The last thing that comes to mind is if she has anger maybe due to life not working out for her. She could-
- become a member here to discuss her mental health issues, we are here 24/7/365
- Allow her to be angry, vent, keep your voice low and calm. You might find her collapsing into your arms when she realises you are her best friend.
- Slowly introduce to her ideas like getting a passion, encourage her to join a group, etc.
- Take her to comedy shows.
- Build her self esteem like discussions about fashion, hairstyles etc.
- Read! we have an amazing library here just type in search the words
