[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 750344, member: 24254"] So this morning the depression seems over with (at least the deep despair kind that makes her want to cut) and she is feisty again .Good ! I asked about the job applications she had out and mentioned that she could get a vehicle if she had a job. She said she knew that and wanted that and she was in charge of her life. I told her it's my job to see her into independence, so I would be checking on progress every now and then. I said Aldi was hiring. She speaks to me very sternly like she is the parent " I don't want to talk about a job today, ok? PLEASE respect that". The tone made me smile like she thinks she is in charge of me. I didn't respond. So she goes on " I didn't do anything wrong, so I won't apologize ." Still silence from me ." And you seem to have some feelings about this , so I will let you work through that" . Still, silence from me. She then started chatting normally as if nothing had happened. But in the course of 1 hour asked me 3 times if I was ok. I assured her I was . These episodes of depression and cutting seem to be very cyclical. [/QUOTE]
