[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 129078"] I agree with not taking it personally. This is how I looked at it when my son was severely depressed - and how I try to look at it with my daughter, but hers has gone on for so much longer so I have to remind myself a lot: depression makes the patient feel absolutely miserable. That misery is too much to keep inside so it has to spill out somewhere. Is she receiving any treatment or medications for depression? It's important. The longer it goes untreated, the harder it is to overcome. It becomes learned behavior. It's hard, I know. Some days I feel like my daughter is just plain toxic and she vacuums the life out of me. Since you're homeschooling her now, as am I, you're home with it all day long. You don't get a break from it. I feel your pain there. Some days my daughter starts and I feel myself trying to curl inside myself. I try to make myself invisible, but I haven't quite figured out how, yet. LOL Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
