First off, you sure did blow it. Sheesh, why didn't you just wait out the time and let her go 3-4 months down the road. There is NO WAY she would fall for that one a second time in a row.

Ok - onto plan two. Is there someone (other than you, of course) that could say something to her (without spilling the beans) and say something along the lines of "gee "W" you seem to be really up and down these days and stressed out - every think about going to see someone to talk it out?"

I know that isn't exactly right but you get the drift - however, her guard is going to be totally up on that one too

However, you did mention her "support group" at work - anyone in there that you can be honest and upfront with, knowing full well they won't say anything to her? Maybe they could assist you?

Other than that, I don't know she really seems to have some major issues. Has no one at work mentioned anything to her or you about the cutting? That is still my major concern and I think it REALLY needs to be addressed, even if it ticks her off. It's called tough love!

What would you do if it was your teenager? Basically this is the same thing, she is acting very similar to a troubled teen. I know if it was me, I would do everything I could to have her committed or seen by a psych. Once she has gone at least once, they would be monitoring her closely and you wouldn't have to be involved but in the meantime, I think you are going to have to take some drastic measures.
