Struggling

[Koda1521]

Does it ever get easier? I’ve dealt with my own depression for years, but found out my youngest daughter also suffers from sever depression and anxiety. She has it so bad she is now home schooled, has an ESA, sees a therapist, has dropped out of all things she’s loved, rarely leaves the house. We tried medication, but she actually feels more in control of the depression and anxiety off of the medication. I’m not convinced.

All of what is going on with her, has spiraled my own depression and anxiety. I can’t help feeling like I lost my daughter. I still see her. But she is in no way the same child. It’s been a year and a half now and I can’t seem to start moving forward again.

I’m sorry for all of your pain & suffering.

Struggling while watching our children struggle is so heartbreaking.

I feel for you & I’m glad we share this space.
