[quote=Anonymous]OP again, things are starting to take form.

I have found an IOP program that has a place for DD which I think is the best thing for her. I still need to find an individual therapist but that may be part of the IOP as well, if we can find the right fit. Will see.

A while back we told DD that we would put certain network and IT type protections in place in the event that anything happened to her that would allow us to look and see what her activity was

I am seeing some, not a lot, but some concerning communications of a sexual nature which I didnt expect, and its not sexting or porn but sharing of "kinks" with another teen. Pretty explicit and kind of laughable for someone with no real sexual experience, which I know is a fact because she has been in my presence 24/7 for a few years now, thanks to pandemic and the need to generally keep an eye on her.

Along with several other factors, including her psychiatrists renewed interest in getting her properly diagnosed, it looks like we are heading in the direction of a Bipolar diagnosis, possibly overlapping /comorbi with Borderline Personality Disorder. Of course also possible is some other mood disorder with ADHD and GAD since she has ADHD, GAD and major depression DX's.

My husband and I have been collecting and poring over large amounts of very specific diagnostic reference materials from NIMH and other medical sources regarding bipolar II and BPD.  It seems it wont be an easy path forward for her, but we are heading towards the area of getting to the truth of what have been her issues.

Scary. Sad. But its better to be moving toward the truth, eventhough it is scary and sad.[/quote]
