Help for me and my daughter....

[~justme~]

Not doing well. We both suffer from anxiety/bipolar. She is battling me over taking her meds. She is being disrespectful, and she is starting self harming again. This is all recent. I don't know what to do. She doesn't want to go to school. She will not budge in the morning for school and she ignores me. I am at a loss not knowing what to do. It is sending me into a depression I am trying to fight right now. I just cry and feel like screaming. Any advice would help so much. Why can I do. If u find other post that I just posted there is more info there. Please help me before I commit myself into a hospital somewhere.

I'm so sorry you're in such a bad place emotionally right now.  I don't know what your situation is like, but I have been through my own things.  I think the best I can say is that recently when I went through something bad & tried to hurt myself, my mother was the one person that stayed there for me - thru thick and thin.  I love her for that now. 

My mother and I have always had so many problems...but sometimes it's the really bad times that end up pulling people together in the end.

Don't give up on yourself and please don't give up on your daughter.  The bond between you two is probably one of the strongest out there (even if it doesn't seem like it at the time).

Try listening to positive things - when i was in a bad place, I watched the movie "the secret" - it was so cheesy but I found it really helpful.  When it feels like the world is falling down on you, go out, leave for a moment, make yourself better then tackle the problem at hand again.  If you're religious, try going to mass or try praying.

Most importantly, be persistent, and I pray that you be patient and show love.

Hope things get better soon =]
