[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 509976, member: 59"] Bless her heart. I understand what she is going through more than I want to admit. My easy child had a difficult time when she first went to college. She ws a perfectionist who never felt she was good enough for anyone else. She received all the love her dad and I had to give but she was so hard on herself and was never happy. She didn't feel like she fit in anywhere and when she went away to college it just all came crashing down. Fortunately she was not adverse to seeing a counselor probably because her sister had been going to one for years and she herself went to one to help deal with her anxiety over her sister's behavior. We had to pick her up at college one week after she moved in. She wouldnot stay in the dorm any longer because of her anxiety. We found a counselor that specializes in anxiety and that helped a great deal, along with the right anxiety medication. She eventually went back to the dorm in her second semester and was able to live on cmpsu the restof her college years but it was a struggle for her to fit in. Today she is a wonderful kindergarten teacher who is bright and successful and a very careing person, but she still feels she does not fit in with a lot of people. She isn't into partying or cliques or being mean to people. I hope you can encourage your daughter to go to counseling. They do not "lock people up" these days anymore like years ago. First of all most insurnace plans do not cover it and they have found there is no need unless the person is in imminent danger of hurting themselves or others. If she could only find a group in counseling like her she would discover she is not alone and a lot of what she is going through can very successfully be overcome in a short period of time. I know this is hard on you. It broke my heart to see my beautiful daughter in such pain. She just kept telling me she didn't want to feel that way and that she hated herself. It can get better. Hugs, Nancy P.S. I am sorry, I missed your last post about the admission. So forget everything I said about that. I have a lot of hope that things will go smoother and that she is in good hands. Once she is out of crisis mode things will be much better and she can move forward. [/QUOTE]
