[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has gone through MDD.  She probably feels that you cannot relate to her or wouldn't understand.  What led her down this path to begin with?  How have you problem solved issues before?  She probably feels taking meds is weak.  It took me a long time to accept that I needed to be on meds and I'm really old.  But I didn't have issues as a Teen.  I had PPD and after cancer I had MDD.  She needs some assurance that you will not judge her. If there is a way she can talk during group therapy that may help in understanding.  She may not be making any sense at all though when she is going through a crisis.  I would not send her off to college unless you have a plan on how to deal with her MDD.[/quote].

There are a lot of things that has led to this:

- we have family history of undiagnosed depression and anxiety
- she was in high pressured schools and has been performing just average academically without putting much effort. Our disapproval of her  lack of academical achievement has affected her self worth. She has blamed her poor performances on our parenting methods.
- she has not played in any team in school and has not made any friend in school. She has felt anxious around people and has lost friends she had from MS
- she has been focused on online frineds for quite sometime
- she is the first born in the family and as a result there was a lot of stress during college application process

Since she blames a lot of the issues on us, she is not interested in group/family therapy. We love her a lot and have been trying to make a lot of adjustments to accomodate the new situation. However she has been extremely uncooperative and unpleasant.

i am not sure forcing her to defer college would work. We are worried that she wuld leave home and that would expose her to risks outside the home without anyone to have her back. Very sad with the turn of events. Our family life is completely shattered and there is no structures. We feel like going through hell right now and see no light.

Looking for someone who has gone through similiar situations and has recovered from it. Please tell me this is going to be okay. Cannot stop crying - cannot tell any of my real life friend. [/quote]
