DD had an awful time in her teenage years due to mental health issues and possibly ADHD. She has anxiety and persistent depression and has also got into some controlling relationships, having to go to court in June being made to testify against a guy with a number of charges - so now we add PTSD in the mix. I just feel so bad for my beautiful girl. My mother had mental health issues all her life and so do other members of my family , my husband suffers from low level depression I wonder if it would have been kinder to her if we'd have never had her? I feel like we have set her up for a life of misery due to her inheriting issues from both sides. She has recently started Sertraline and seemed to be getting better , had a nice BF who promptly dumped her on his Mum's advice after an episode of psychosis. She has taken this really to heart.
She is trying to be independent and living away at uni ( not far) submitting her work but how much more can life throw at the poor girl? She has a lovely PT job working with SEN children and wants to be a Teacher - it makes her vibrant and thrive working with them. I'm just so worried that will never happen for her.
I'm tired and emotional and perhaps catastrophising - i'm there for her the early hours of the morning when she has bad dreams and moments of anxiety. She is seeing all the medical professionals and counsellors she can at the moment but has also recently disclose that she has Health anxiety to me.
I'm just so worried. I just want to know if there is another side or she will have to cope with this forever.
