Thanks for your comments @Faith-and-Hope

That terrible time is many years in the past but I still have moments - flashbacks and PTSD - but I have used everything possible to rise above it. However it never goes away completely

But it's having had all of this happen that brought me here and I have found so many wonderful people who understand and who are going through what I did - what I still do to a lesser extent - and it is something pretty special to be in a place that I can help other people when I am also helping myself

I feel for your daughter - I think I pretty well know the despair you are feeling - I would look at my son at times and I could sometimes see the future - not that I needed to be psychic or anything - my son did not fit into society and was into so much trouble

So - I know now there is more around to help troubled young people - how I wish this had been around when my son was a younger boy - he might have found help - but there wasn't much around at the time.

But whatever is going on with your daughter - she is the only one who can get out of that - if it helps to get her to go to Head Space or something like that - or Beyond Blue - I don't know how these things work but if young people can find a place where they can open up and do open up then it might help.

But when someone is rolled up in a psycholgical misery and having physical pain too - it would be easier to blame the physical pain because that is something people can see that - maybe identify with it - but this is confusing - and you know this.

It is incredibly difficult to know - to comment. I don't know what is bothering her - but it must be terribly hard for you. You must feel out of your depth - I really pray you can find some help for her
