Hi I'm so sorry for what you are going through. It is DEVASTING, i know as things have gotten worse for me.. Do you have a good DR? OUR Dr of 20yrs is a godsend. We have tried different medications over the years and finally seem to have the one that fits. Also seeing a pyscologist is good when they can find one they feel.comfortable with.. Can i also recommend that u look.after YOU too. I have started seeing a pyscologist as I'm not ashamed to admit that at times i lose my temper with my girl.. I think you should see a Dr to begin with. Please keep me updated it's a long difficult journey. It's so sad how they feel empty.. Take care.

Thankyou. This is the problem, i have tried getting her to headspace etc she refuses. She had counselling when younger for trauma etc. Dr referred her to a pyscologist she quit after the 3rd visit when they told her to dye her hair when she feels sad. She refuses to talk to anyone. She said i don't understand, only he does. She loves and misses him but says she can't trust him.anymore. This is going to damage her even more now. I'm seeing my DR Tuesday and asking for a referal to see someone myself. I can't make her see someone, even though im trying too.

Hi all. I'm feeling very despondent and shattered for my soon to be 18yr old daughter who suffers from severe depression. Lately we have been going up and down with her moods even though her medication is working. The problem now is her boyfriend of 2 yrs whom has lived with us the past 14 months has been caught cheating online. Talking to other girls, receiving pics of other girls, planning to meet up and very dirty messages back n forth. My baby and I are shattered. She has broken up with him and he has moved back home. I'm trying to help her, and don't want to say the wrong thing. I found something she uses to self-harm under the pillow which i removed and am watching her closely. She feels so betrayed, she found out on his phone. He is begging for forgiveness but the trust is gone. In his eyes he didn't cheat. I am so angry and shocked. I took him in against my wishes at first ( DR and Physcologist ) both recommended it, as he was the only person who could reach her help her during the darkest times as he suffers from depression also..my fears have now come to fruition. They were so happy and in love. He recently turned 18 and joined the dating app soon after we have discovered. He can't explain why he did this. I'm devastated for both of them. I know its part of life etc but add mental health issues to the mix, it's a nightmare. He has tried suicide in the past, and his mum is worried saying to me she gona lose him. I will not be guilted into having him back here or try to convince my baby to give him another chance. She was abused by her father at a young age and finally trusted another man and now he has let her down ( her words ). Sorry for rambling and i know I'm all over the place with trying to explain the situation. I just don't want to stuff up the handling of the situation with her. Any advice appreciated. Ps she has a wonderful support of friends and family. I have advised her to concentrate NOT on who has let you down BUT who is there in difficult times friends and family that's who. Thanks

Hi there Sorry to hear abouf yr problems also. I was very wary of meds for my baby girl. The first lot increased the self harming and suicidal thoughts. We ars trying diff meds so far so good. They have put on alit of weight for her which is depressing her even more, she wont exercise, has quit the gym. Whilst the meds are helping shs refuses to see a pyscologist after the failure of the first one. I really try to talk to her but get abused. I try encourage exercise, fresh air etc. I have found meds help but if i say the slightest thing wrong in her mind it starts again. Telling me she HATES me its my fault she is relentless when having a bad day. Pls keep me updated and good luck. 3 years for me this been going on.

Hi Sorry I've been absent from the forums and am just starting to read through again. I myself have been depressed not coping at all.. I've started seeing some1 for help so we will see how things go. Drs changed my daughters meds these ones appear better. Some days are good some bad still. I can't cope with the anger and disrespect that she throws my way continually. I'm sorry for what u are going through also.

Thank you for yr msg means alot. I'm sorry for what you are going through also. I'm just realising how common this is. My concern atm is my daughters wellbeing. The boyfriend was a friend for a year, a nice polite caring young man who suffers depression also. They are now dating for past 3 months knew he always liked her but my concern is are 2 depressed people together a good or bad thing? I worry that they are each others crutch and if things go sour look out. I could be worried for nothing it's just my thoughts are all over the place. In saying that he makes her happy and understands her. Thanks again. ❤

My soon to be 17 yr old daughter has been diagnosed with severe depression, placed on medication and weekly pyscologist visits. She is self harming. I am besides myself with worry she is my only child. She is very bright at school but hates it. She now has a boyfriend whom i truly like but he has suffered depression but he seems to relate to her better than me. I know i shouldn't take her moods and anger personally but i am. I would like to hear from others who have experienced this. Thanks
