I was wondering if any one knew of any support for parents with a teenagers that have mental health issues,
Our daughter has just turned 16, and I have about reached what I can cope with, before any says it is all about her, I really get that but and it is a big but, I don't have the words to say to her when she tells me for the 12th time in under two years that she has taken another overdose, her body is cut to ribbons, she hates what she does but even with all the different groups etc that she has attended, she can't stop what she doing to herself.
She is bright and beautiful, and at the minute I can't fix how she feels, I don't know what she wants me to say to make it better, and honestly she doesn't know either.
This isn't a new thing, we as a family have been going through this with her since she was 12, and as her mam, I feel I have failed as I should be able to make this all better and I can't.
So what can I do now, it isnt getting better and to be honest, the only reason they (medical type people) haven't diagnoised bi polar yet is her age, we were told that when she was 14, and I haven't put down exactly everything, but there is the manic high's and low's. and everything that ticks all the boxes.
So is there anything, that we can do to make life easier for her and all of us x
