[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 168861, member: 1550"] Welcome to the board. in my opinion first and foremost YOU need to go for treatment--go to the county mental health clinic with the sliding scale if you can't afford another place. Sometimes they allow you to go for free--this is where I go and I have a great therapist. Also, you may need medication. You sound extremely depressed. in my opinion once the depression is taken care of (I have a lot of experience with both depression and panic disorder) you'll be able to better deal with your kids and maybe even feel better about the older one. But you have to feel better about yourself first. I agree about putting work on the backburner. Maybe school too for now. As for your daughter, I don't know your early history and I don't need to know. You said you were "messed up." If you drank or did drugs while you were pregnant that could adversely affect your daughter, especially the drinking. She could be difficult due to prenatal drug exposure. Also, if you never bonded with her she could be suffering from not only mental illness or perhaps a form of high functioning autism but a form of attachment disorder. She can tell if you never wanted her...I'm NOT judging you here. I'm trying to explain. If you didn't cuddle or nurture her, she could develop attachment problems. Also, look at mental illness on both sides of her family tree to see other reasons she may be acting out. Has she ever seen a psychiatrist? A neuropsychologist? What behaviors worry you? We want to help you. [/QUOTE]
