For the last year my dd has become a virtual recluse.
She has a dp of 8 years (she is 26) who works full time.
She started getting insomnia and as a result of this (i think) quit her job. It wasn't the best of jobs but this was a year ago and she hasn't worked since. She doesn't leave her flat and stays up all night playing online games with "friends " from America. The time difference means she sleeps all day.
She did go onto prozac but she ended up taking the whole packet (well 7 tablets) in a bid to feel better. Not a suicide bid. She went to the dr that day but they just reassured her that she hadn't damaged herself and said not to take more ADs.
She doesn't talk to me unless there is a crisis (her mil died suddenly ) and then she called for support. She never answrs Facebook messages or texts which are the only source of occasional contact and never answers her phone.
She has cut contact with my dm also.
There has been no falling out as such.
It washer birthday ye6and the plan was a meal out today but she doesn't want to go. Just wants to come here (IF she turns up). Fine if she doesn't want to go out but its more the WHY she wont go?
She has cut contact with friends and exists only online.
I have begged her to get help but she insists she is "fine" but this is wrong. I should be worried about her going out getting drunk with her mates (or actually not. She is an adult!). Id love to be fretting iver her antics if she actually had a life.
I have anither dd who is 11 and we are very close. I think Dd1 is jealous (she has no reason to be)
There is more but this is long and i need help. Dp says i should give her space. I do but it's killing me.
I was a young mum and dd1 spent more time with my parents if im honest but that was always a positive thing, her choice mistly fueled by less strict and friends next door so she would stay at nannies but be playing with the neighbours kids.
my df passed away when dd2 aas born, dd1 was 15 - it aas a tough time for dd. Before dd2 came dd1 would come out socialising with me and my uni (mature student ) and we became closer.
Please help me stop my dd from throwing her life away. She is clinically depressed im sure but wont seek help and inless she seeks it herse6or is a danger to herself there is nothing i can do
