Hello new to the thread,
We are hoping to get some answers from anyone who may have experienced a similar situation. Our daughter turned 18 in February. She has a history of Bi-Polar, ADHD, oppositional defiance and border line personality disorders. She has been self harming as well for several years. We have spent ten's of thousands on facilities for 60-90 days, multiple hospitalizations 5-7 days followed by behavioral centers, psychiatrists and therapists with little results. She has no friends as she has issues getting a long with people. Her only friends are those online. She seeks out every wrong site, or group that is questionable. She wants to be accepted by the wrong people. She uses social media as a stage. I had to take her iphone away again due to inappropriate behavior online .. if she has the phone and computer she is happy and stays in her room in bed all day online, hygiene poor and overeats. if we take a way the devices she cuts herself etc. Also now that she is 18 she says she has rights.. etc. People online tell her she is of course correct and we are wrong. She will do nothing or go outside and just wants to stay in her room will not work, does go to school but rarely a full week. She is a senior in an EBD program barely making it through she will not graduate this year hopefully next. We do not know what to do anymore or how to move her forward. She is also not pleasant, swears etc and is generally ungrateful for anything we have done or try do to help.
