Hi there.
It may help if you make your own thread. You may get more of a response as others think they have already answered this poster's questions.
Is your daughter refusing to get treatment? Does she take substances?
Have you tried to get her on disability so she'll at least have a check if she's out there (although she will have to find somewhere to get the check...P.O. Box or into a bank account).
Do you think she may have a personality disorder such as borderline personality disorder? That often goes along with a mood disorder and is very hard to live with.
Your daughter is the one who has to take control of her mental illness. I'm sure you've tried to help her. There are services out there to help her too if she is disabled or mentally ill, but she has to get them. If she is a danger to you or creates mass chaos and refuses treatment, it is hard to have her still at home. We don't blame you for your decision.
Do you have anyone else in the house with you who you can lean on during this difficult time? A SO? Another adult child? Do you have close family or friends? I suggest contacted The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill to get real life support if you are suffering a lot. They are an excellent organization!
