[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No appointment, no college - that should be easy enough.[/quote]

Not easy. I can promise you she's not going to go along with this.  She'll just leave  home.[/quote]

PP again.

It sounds like she hasn't been listened to for a long time and now her feelings are just being brushed under the this is your mental illness talking umbrella.[/quote]

OP here... what we thought as laziness and just teen behavior turned to be very serious mental health issue. its not true that she was not listen to - we did not know there was an issue. She is extremely smart and hid all thr turmoil inside until it boiled over. We are reay to walk the hard path with her, but she is clamed up. i know it is hard to undersand unless you have gone through with this. However I am looking for other parents who can provide. experienced advice.[/quote]

Have you thought about or considered some sort of family therapy.  Maybe if it is framed so that you recognize that you all need help, it won't seem like her against the world.  If she will not do that, I think you should seek out a some sort of therapist for you, sort of a coach that will help you figure this out.

I do think pulling away from parents is normal, but the extreme nature coupled with depression is scary.
