[quote=Anonymous]I have not read the whole thread because I realize I need to manage my time and I can't get drawn in to this, as interesting as it is.

I just want to say I really relate to your daughter. She sounds a lot like me as a kid (and quite frankly an adult). Like a PP on here, I would hit/hurt myself when stressed, have dealt with perfectionism, people pleasing etc. Mornings before school were very difficult. Looking back there were a lot of red flags between ages 11-18 that my parents just totally ignored. Therapy was never even brought up for me. I had to untangle all this for myself as an adult (and still am).

That said - I'm incredibly successful, high functioning, and happy when I'm not anxious. I have a great family and a great life. And that's without any intervention in my childhood. I think it's great that she's in therapy, and you're thinking about these other things. Though I agree with other posters it doesn't sound like this particular therapy is helpful. Try something else. And what's the harm in neuropsych? But most of all just love, love, love, and figure out how to be patient when she's exploding.

As to medication, I'm not familiar with medicating at this age so can't speak to that. As an adult a very small dose helped VERY much.

Good luck - feeling for you and your daughter.[/quote]
