My daughter aged 16 has been self harming for a couple of years. During this time there has been periods of self harm on and off. We have had help from mind and from Camhs with support strategies but not sure it’s really helped.
I just feel exhausted with the worry of it all. My eldest daughter has just found a blade in her sisters room again and I just feel so overwhelmed with stress.I feel like I’m failing her but I also have feelings of resentment towards her for making our life so difficult. I know it’s not her fault and I know mental health doesn’t work like that but I feel like we try so hard to make her happy/her life easier all of the time and nothing works.I feel like we are all walking on eggshells around her all of the time and it’s affecting us all as a family. Does anyone have any advice are coping strategies on how to deal with this? Not even so much the self harming but more coping with the worry and stress of it all.
