[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 735267, member: 18958"] Welcome lost and confused. You have been through alot and your daughter and husband too. You have gotten lots of good counsrl and support. I see some positives in your story Your daughter pulled through the semester. She was heading off a cliff and she corrected her course. Good for her. She got herself to the 4 year college. This is huge. I am inferring she had just been home a couple of weeks. It seems that this is a situational trigger. Are there options for her? Staying with a relative for example? Is it too late to go be a camp counselor? Is there money for her to attend a simmer session somewhere? As far as feeling like she is pretending and not being happy, this in my experience goes with the territiry of late adolescence.i am not minimizing her depression. And certainly it is to be taken seriously. But she may be playing for your sympathy too. Knowing that you will respond as you are. This could be a little bit of a control issue. There are options to college. Like job corps. Or the military or technical school. In my own case I would offer these as examples of options. I very much agree with mum. The need to separate emotionally in the sense that we feel destroyed when they are vulnerable. I raise my hand to this. This has not helped my son. I guess I am saying it is not clear yet this is dire. And there is risk at both ends. Taking it too seriously, believing she has relapsed, when this is an adjustment isdue, has its risks, too. it may be so but not necessarily. But yes, depression can be chronic and recovering. That is true. Meanwhile welcome. Take care of you, too. [/QUOTE]
