[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember feeling this way at 9 and at almost 11 our home life is far far improved (we’ve had school behavior struggles though).

We used Tracie Bush two years ago - it did help us a lot - not sure if it would help you but might be worth a try? I’m intrigued that she does well at school - does she do well socially with friends?[/quote]

OP here. She used to have issues at school, but I think some maturity had g
Helped her understand that being "that kid" at school doesn't help you make friends, and she is socially motivated. She has a couple of friends and I would say she is mediocre socially. She can sometimes be shy or withdrawn and doesn't always make great first impressions, can sometimes be overally hyperactive and impulsive, too (depending on whether the ADHD or anxiety is stronger in that moment) but she does have friends, so she isn't a complete disaster socially.

We have not tried Tracie Bush specifically, but we have done PCIT training which wasn't helpful. She holds it together and can seem very normal, which sometimes makes us feel even more isolated because nobody knows how awful it is, how much hostility, and how heartbreaking and stressful our lives are, daily. Even therapists and her psychiatrist underestimated her initially we have spent much time explaining to professionals how severe her behavior can be.[/quote]
