I feel like such a failure

It's 3am and I'm sitting in the hospital with my daughter waiting for her to be transferred to an inpatient facility again. Luckily the pills she took didnt hurt her physically. You'd think I'd be better at dealing with this. I've been suicidal plenty and in the psych ward 4 times myself. But I dont know how to help my child. I feel powerless and I feel to blame. We are supporting her best we can. Better than we ever got growing up and struggling. I had to wait until I was 18 to get help. I just hope things get better soon. It huurts so much watching my child struggle with mental health issues. I hope i can do better and get her through this.
