[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 554734, member: 13882"] Hi Kathy, I was out last night, so I didn't see your post. I am glad she's doing better for now, and I think "ambushing" her would have been a less than optimum choice. I'm so sorry she feels like it's a struggle sometimes to just live day to day. For a young, beautiful, smart and funny person, that kind of insight just doesn't correlate. It must be sheer hell when she's going through it, and you, husband and easy child are somewhat limited to being spectators, even though you want to do everything to make it stop. My brother is mentally ill and lives in an adult home, and we have him at our house once a week. Sometimes he feels that way, and then it passes, but then it returns. He has just gotten used to feeling that way. I am hoping your daughter can find help with the Abilify - I've heard great things about it. From your previous posts about difficult child a few months ago, when she was using DBT skills and being a semi-easy child, I enjoyed how close you two became and her sense of humor came through in your posts. She is lovely at the core, and I just sincerely hope that the abilify and continued DBT skills will help her manage her emotions, and I hope Peter Pan does not torment her from afar. Big hugs.
