I've had problems with my DD that started at the age of 5, now she's 15. Her current diagnosis is Bipolar Mixed, and possible personality disorder. She is currently hospitalized and I am terrified about her returning home later this week. I don't know how much more of this our family can take. I am looking for a great website, or online support that I can get advice from and better understand this illness. Family counseling with the social worker and therapist isn't doing anything, they are not giving me any tips or advice that I haven't already tried. Things are getting so bad with her that I just want to sign over my parental rights and be done with this. I really hate feeling this way, but I have 3 other children who are suffering because of her illness as well. For years, I've told them she needs long term hospitalizations, but again, I'm not being heard. All they do is keep her for 2-3 weeks at a time and send her home on new meds. In June, she attemped suicide with taking 60 300mg of Seroquel, spent 4 days in ICU, and 3 in a regular room, they discharged her to a Mental Health Hospital, she was only there 2 weeks. Came home, seemed fine up until August 6, she tried to hang herself. Also, back in March she was hospitalized for cutting her wrist. As a parent I don't know why she's so depressed and wants to die, she has no history of any type of abuse, has only gone to the best of schools, we've done everything to give our children the best, and all the love in the world. I feel helpless because I can't help her, and I don't understand her sadness.
She's also a hoader. I cleaned her room and threw away all the junk and trash and I know that once she comes home and see that I have thrown away her trash, she will have a violent outburst and will attempt suicide again. I am a clean person and I'm not going to tolerant her being so nasty, and I don't want bugs in the house. She is the oldest of 4 children and the younger ones don't even want to sleep in there own rooms when she is home.
