Hi all i am going through similar stuff my daughter self harms after reading how a lot of parents deal with the situation it has given me a little hope again that this difficult time will pass and how to try different approaches when it comes to talking about the self harm with my daughter which is something i struggle with ,she knows i know about it and we talked about it a little but that was a while ago ,i can tell by her mood if she has self harmed The last time was last weekend she got angry at me cause i was laying on the sofa watching tv and she came down about 10pm saying she was hungry and she didnt like any thing that was in the kitchen i was so tiered i didnt say much then she stormed off saying why would i care anyway then the whole of Sunday she shut me out wouldnt speak to me or listen to me ,i felt so bad its very hard trying to please her all the time its draining me she is getting help at the moment so we will see how it goes she is 17 . thanks for reading xx

Hi thanks for your reply to be honest I feel like walking away from it all I also have a 14 year old son and a 21 year old son who is at uni and I have a 23 year old daughter who lives at home she had bulimia for 7 years and that was hard to deal with now I'm going through this with my younger daughter it's so draining I'm also in debt with council tax arrears and other stuff it's so tough all I do is try to please my kids all the time and don't get much me time also my sister has terminal cancer 😢I try to stay positive listen to music a lot and read I have a journal I write in every day. And I listen to a lot of meditation stuff which helps. I know my daughter better than she thinks and I know a lot of her anger and sadness goes back to when her dad walked out of our lives when she was 9 her grandad also passed away that same year her dad quickly met someone else within 6 weeks of leaving us and now has 3 more kids he was an alcoholic and still is I know this has had an impact on my kids and my daughter needs therapy to talk about this stuff when I mention this to the doctors they just look at me and carry on talking stupid medical terms it's so frustrating we have an appointment on the 29th with the psychologist and I'm so worried that she is going to push the antidepressants on my daughter again. My daughter says she thinks she will try them again I don't want her to take them what's the point if u don't change your lifestyle they have no positive affect she just wants to feel better and thinks these are magic pills that make u feel great every day if only that was the case then we would all take them x

My daughter has been prescribed antidepressants by a phycologist she is 17 and is struggling with life at the moment she has self harmed superficially and has thoughts of not wanting to be here. IT has been a roller coaster of emotions for a few years I myself suffered with depression in the past and was taking meds for over 10 years I know this has had an affect on my kids and being a single parent only makes it harder with a lot on counselling and meditation and pushing my self forward I have beat my depression. I still get days when I want to hide away and cry so that's what I do then I pick myself up and remember how blessed I am to have 4 wonderful kids and my health. Sorry to talk about my self so much anyway I'm not happy with my daughter taking meds her phycologist also said she is too short 4ft 8 I am 5ft and my mum is 4ft 6 so I wasn't too concerned and that she is too thin she is petite and is trying her best to overcome her insecurities about being short. Her doctor also said she could have graves disease or a thyroid problem also I showed the phycologist a letter about my daughters eye condition Diplopia (week muscles in one eye) she just said she knows nothing about that condition so before they dish out antidepressants shouldn't they find out the underlying cause The phycologist told my daughter she needs antidepressants to get better and they will change her life and make her happy 😢 (not true) So on the third day Mel my daughter called me at work she kept saying mum help me I think I'm dying!!!! She had a major panic attack and felt very sick the doctor forgot to explain to her about the side affects she stopped them straight away her phycologist thinks I am over reacting to be honest I don't care what she thinks I find her very abrubt and has no empathy I asked what other help they offer she said phycotherapy but the waiting list is over 6 months and because your daughter isn't trying hard enough it's the meds or il take her of the counselling list great help she is not given any real support. All I am asking from her is to wait for all the test results she told us to do, thyroid, hormone balance because it could all be connected then take it from there not too much to ask right? Thanks for reading x

Hi hope u are doing OK sorry to hear about your troubles with your daughter I'm going through similar stuff with my 17 year old, I found out about 7,, months ago that she was self harming il never forget that day and how it made me feel I was at work and just burst into tears my daughter was very unhappy in 6th form and found it very hard to cope socially and fit in with the crowd have you tried talking to your daughter about her school life? I have a 14 year old boy and one who is 32 and a 33 year old daughter who went through bulimia in her teenage years my hear goes out to you and I know how you feel, we can only do our best as parents it's the toughest job in the world x
