[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t know that this is lifelong yet. Don’t get ahead of yourself. You won’t know that unless she has multiple incidents over a series of years.

With compassion, may I suggest that due to this catastrophic thinking on your part, perhaps you’d benefit from therapy too? [/quote]

+1. OP, I went through this with my daughter a year and a half ago when she was 15. She said so many things during the duration of her depression, such as she has always felt that way, that people had always left her when she needed them, that she saw no future that could be happy, etc. She eventually emerged from it after her school connected us with a wonderful psychiatrist who worked for months to find her the right medication and a great and patient therapist. Basically I just want you to know there is another side. I wasn’t sure for a long time but there is and it’s great and happy (not all the time but a lot of the time) and with the right help she will see that side. [/quote]
