Teenage regression

DD will turn 19 in a month and lately has been incredibly difficult to deal with. Between 14/15 she was like this - constant mood swings, everything is my fault, entitled + very emotional on a whole. As soon as she turned 16 things suddenly improved and we became great friends, we genuinely really enjoyed each other’s company and fights + bickering were a rare occurrence.
Lately things seem to have reverted back to those horrible early teenage years and I have no idea what is going on or what to do. Granted she has had a difficult few years with medical issues but this all of a sudden. She’s become very needy yet at the same time doesn’t want me. Everything is a fight and she’s becoming so difficult to live with. Help!!

I dont have any advise but just wanted to say I hear ya. Our DD is the same, a whole host of issues for years and still not getting any better. There is a thread call a friendly hand hold or something like that in the teenager section. There might be more traffic on that one.
Sending you a big hug,it really is not easy.
