@fasonreeman I agree with you on the phone thing. My daughter's therapist told us the same, don't take it away from her, currently this is the only way she can communicate with her friends. We also have screen time, etc, and I set the rules straight with her. But it is not OK try to to take your...

@orthodoxserb Yes, she had something like that last year, 15 weeks, 5 days a week, she came for the weekends only and it did help. This is what we are looking into again, but there is a long waiting list.

@orthodoxserb Sorry, English is not my first language, what does a partial outpatient program mean?

@mstreet No trauma, she has always lived in a loving and caring family. She is biracial, that and some other things led her to being bullied at school. She has always had drama around her. Two of the three suicide attempts happened after we took away her phone. She cannot stand control and this...

@delm Thank you, really appreciate your input. I am doing most of these things. I listen, I keep quiet when she wants me to, she is the center of my world. She is our main priority, but I think the entire family is exhausted and really need counseling. I do take some time out, I just spent a...

@crystalcoffee I needed to hear this, thank you so much!

@amoretpax199 Thanks so much, I will look into that book. It seems that her seizures are non-epileptic but more psychogenic. They are still trying to catch a seizure when she has an EEG, this is why she had a sleep deprived EEG scheduled for next week. I have been wondering about she having...

@michaelo This is what our daughter's therapist told me as well. That there is a good balance between my husband's and my approach. However, it is only me who gets the heat so I think I need to take a step back and "outsmart" our daughter. And this is not to say that I will do what my husband...

@allie1313 Not really, no... When my 12 yo was in hospital, we did have a few sessions and I think it will be the same when she goes to hospital again. But it is a good idea.

@allie1313 I am lucky to have a support system (friends mostly and my daughters). My husband is also supportive but he says I am overthinking things - but I am the one who takes our daughter to therapy and to all the medical check ups, I am the one talking to the school about her education, etc...

@delm Yes. This is why I am not taking her phone away. One bad move, something goes wrong and it is too late. Not gonna risk it.

@tiger65 Just like almost all these kids in her age, she watches TikTok a lot. In the past we have tried to restrict her screen time/block certain apps but we always end up giving in because... of her manipulative behavior (i.e. suicide attempt when her phone is being taken away). I know this...

Sorry for the long post... My 12 yo daughter has been diagnosed with autism, OCD and anxiety disorder last summer. She has been suffering from sensory issues since she was a child, panic attacks, went through a lot of bullying in elementary school, self-harming herself, attempted suicide three...
