Same.  I feel as though I had to trade my sanity for hers.  Will never say that to her, and wouldn't change the trade in reality, but it took a heavy toll.[/quote]

How long was it really bad? What did you do that provided her with a road to recovery? How long has she been better?

Are you doing better?

Thanks [/quote]

The worst part of the crisis lasted a full year.  Still recovering, probably will always need mental health support.  I can't even say I had it as bad as some of the other responders. . . we avoided hospitalization as DD was cooperative with the safety plan and responded to treatment well.  I'm working my way back to a new normal. . .it's hard to let go of the feeling that another shoe might drop - there are so many points at which you think things might be getting "better" and they get way way worse, so I avoid that kind of thinking completely now.[/quote]

And seriously, just very lucky that we got tapped into the right therapist for her, and we could afford to pay for it.[/quote]
