My youngest DD (and now the only one living at home..) has been suffering with her mental health for the last three years. It’s not been easy and ended up with her spending a week in hospital two weeks before her 18 birthday. She’s now...dare I say...ok but is wanting to find employment of some sort. Anything we suggest she’s not happy about but any thing she goes for...doesn’t get. I feel she needs an apprenticeship.....but she’s reluctant to tell them she suffers with anxiety at all. Also she feels her memory is not good (it isn’t...and I feel just awful about not taking this seriously when she was at school. We took her to the GP but it was dismissed as all part of growing up...
Also I do wonder if she’s possibly on the autism spectrum (hates bright lights, noises, etc).. I’m scared for the future but would welcome any support or maybe you are a family going through the same thing...or similar....thank you so much...
