I was there when I was a teen. I thought my life was so horrible I should end it. I heard my inner conscience telling me to hurt myself because I felt so much pain. I lied to therapists, I lied to myself, I didn't know what to do but hurt. No one was hurting me but myself and the mistakes I made. I was messed up in the head... I thought scars were 'pretty' and I felt hate towards those who didn't have scars... Let me tell you, I slit my wrist in front of my whole family, then I told them to take me to the hospital. I wanted away from my life. That's what I needed. I was in the hospital for at least a week, I never knew how many freedoms I had before that day. I wanted out so bad, I had a new outlook on life. When I did get out, I was angry at a lot of people, but I got over it.
It is a disease, just like eating disorders.. You have to overcome them, no matter how hard you think it is. Just take small steps.  Life is so much prettier when you appreciate it. I would try to get your daughter to channel her anger or fear into art. That's what got me through. I have to admit i have tattoos now, but art and music will channel her anger into creativity. I hope this helps. You will get through this. -best of luck -ering

A psychiatrist would be a good solution, it sounds like your daughter may be developing Psychosis

I don't think she needs to go to the nearest hospital and access suicide hotline,  but I do agree with treazzure that this is urgent.  Don't leave her by herself before you can arrange a psychiatrist appointment.  You need to find out quickly a good psychiatric practice (not psychologist,  you need someone who can prescribe medication for her) and get their earliest appointment.

Best wishes.  Please post back with how she's doing.
