[quote=Anonymous]Could really use any insight on my older teen DD. I've posted about her before but feel like I have better insight into her issues now.

What sort of condition or disorder would come to mind in connection with someone who is convinced that life has to be perfect, full of loyal friends and effortless accomplishment and universal admiration, or is not worth living? And who absolutely cannot be budged from this idea by anyone - family, therapists, etc.?

It's almost like an intense phobia of ever having to compromise on wants or accept second-best on anything. It can come across as staggeringly entitled/spoiled, though as the parent I can also see how genuine the distress is, up to the point of an actual suicide attempt.

Yes, we have multiple professionals involved. They are somewhat helpful. I think my child is safe right now. But no one's been able to shed much light on what is actually going on with her, so I wondered if anyone had experience of anything similar.
