What happens next?

What happens next?

What to expect next?

My daughter (27) is currently in a psych ward being the weekend she won't see Dr until Monday.

1) Will the Dr attempt to speak with me before making a decision on to keep her or discharge her?

2) any tips, 'buzz words' that may help to convince Dr to keep her?

3) I'm sure I'll have more questions soon. And I truly know I'm not alone especially with the following but currently I'm feel extremely isolated, like I'm not doing enough for her & myself, exhausted, verge of tears, & though I'm thankful it took only a couple of days to find this forum I'm much more of phone person & yet feel guilty & selfish for saying I just want to b**** & moan about it all. As well I'm feeling like I'm making a big deal out of nothing when others have SOOOOOO much more going on with their lives.

And I'm so sincerely grateful I do live in a time where such support can be found.

Thank you ALL and sorry for combining both questions & mini rant in same post.
