[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sorry, OP, I know this is distressing. My niece felt similarly. She started cutting, but hid it very well. She got therapy, but nothing changed until she went on a service trip to Guatemala and began working with folks there. It was as if she started to get better immediately. She is now happy, a junior in college and doing very well. She goes to Guatemala several times a year - to help, or to teach art. And she just formed a US part of a nonprofit. I think she had to find her passion. I hope that your DD does the same. [/quote] I think this is relevant—it’s helpful for anyone to find something that brings joy and a sense of purpose. It doesn’t have to be a service activity, but something that brings you in contact with others to accomplish something. Could be an art class, or a fitness group, whatever. But many of us struggle with the purpose of life and that stuff can make it feel a little less murky.[/quote]
