[quote=Anonymous]My God, what is happening to our children?  I’m experiencing this mental illness with my daughter (12) who told a couple girls at school and now we have a huge situation going in.  I have covered many basis initiatives and conversations- psychiatrist, therapist, social skills class, meds (&$# antidepressant, ADHD, and an anxiety med), appointment to get a full neuropsychological testing which I have to wait for a consultation then wait another couple weeks for the actual testing; Pulled DD out of school for a while until we decide what to do.  Op, I get you, hang in there, continue to show him your love and your support. Be sure to take care of your own health and mental health.

You are good mother, this is an epidemic problem. Kids are pressured in realty and pressure is also made up in their mind. Social media, YouTube, Facebook- all this media and electronic games has perpetuated a problem that will be hard to recover from. How can one not have a phone?  When they are young they don’t need to have one but as a teenager they do.  This depression has been building up in their brains for a long time without us knowing. I, too, hide medicines and scissors but DD is very crafty so now I can’t leave her alone at anytime.  And no it doesn’t help that there are horrible newscasts of murder and terrorism plus we a nutso, narcissistic President. But OP, I have hope because I have strong faith in God to get me through.  Faith is helping our situation with our daughter too. Hopefully things will turn around for your  family and mine but should this go negative, I know we have done all that we could and she will be God.

Hugs and prayers for you.[/quote]
