[QUOTE="somerset, post: 515925, member: 13320"] The problem is, she'd be too terrified to make the call, and I can't "make" her do anything. If I am hard on her, she just crumbles. I can't ground her because she doesn't want to go anywhere, and if I take her stuff away she just sleeps. All the time. And rewards don't work either. She's lost interest in pretty much everything. Hence the Major Depression diagnosis. I'm less angry today. She turned out to be running a fever. We'll try again today. It's been hard for me to completely understand what she's been going through because she doesn't talk about her feelings. THe other day, we agreed that we needed to do some activity before the sleep study to help her be tired. She chose to go to a Bath and Body Works. It was in a mall, but she didn't know that. I didn't think it mattered. When she was done shopping, she practically ran out of there. In the car, she told me how hard it had been for her to go in there, that malls are especially hard for her because there are so many people who she feels will look at her. In particular, other teens hang out at malls and that's the hardest. She said she felt exhausted from just having to deal with going in there. [/QUOTE]
