[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I would ask to have this moved to the special needs forum. I have a teen like this, and despite all the therapy in the world for her, me and as a family, it is still a daily struggle. [/quote] This comment rings true. I think the issue is that our DD’s situation is a bit more challenging than standard teen angst. By “crisis” I do not mean a pimple or bad date or ruined laptop. I mean inability to get out of bed and engage with the world or far worse. DW and I have worked hard with DD and her therapist to help her find the tools to help herself (ear, sleep, exercise, journal, mantras, etc). We learned awhile ago not to feed the anxiety and respond very neutrally to texts: “I’m sorry to hear you are having a bad day…we love you…we’ll talk later if you want” but that doesn’t stop the texts from coming and doesn’t mean they don’t impact us.
