[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear OP —

1. I am VERY hopeful for your situation: your responses prove to me that you are a balanced personality who is focused on finding resources; your DH and you are working toward each other during this pain/fear; and, of course we ALL suffer the stigma of emotional/mental issues and clearly you are not going to let negative bias keep you from getting help.

2. Twin daughter (emergency placement) always suffered anxiety, bouts of depression, we were always in therapy. Talks of suicide began at about that same age, and as you know it cascades and takes over your entire lives.

3. Trying medication is an art (and maybe) not a science.  We began with SSRIs and gotno where. Our genius psychiatrist said bipolar meds, and I was scared as I knew lithium but these next gen drugs are not nearly so intense. That along with an ADD med and child just got into one of the most exclusively application high schools in the District for fine arts.

4. No mention of self harm now for YEARS, and we are trying to get her back into talk therapy but she associates it with the bad ol’ days and still says no.

5. Glass is half full for sure. Other families who did not go through this when their children were tweeners might be assuming that all is well and find themselves in a life threatening crisis — we are battle tested to see the signs.

6. Your love with get you through this . . . Ignore the mean ol’ trolls. Share with others that mental health is a normal part of wellness care and these scary times do not last forever when you acknowledge them.[/quote]

Meds have terrible side effects. Also, not everyone with a different opinion is a troll. [/quote]

Suicidal ideation has terrible side effects too.[/quote]
