Thanks for replying!

Sounds really tough when your daughter won't help herself but that is often the way with MH. People often don't see what others see particularly loved ones and parents. It is ultimately up to your daughter to engage with treatment however that looks for her. Maybe medications to therapy either face to face or digitally. 

Having a lack of insight into one's own situation is called anosognosia is is quite common and something I experienced too. A person has to want to change and be able to see that things need to change in order for them to really start that process. Continually encouragement and support from you as a parent is sometimes all you can do and that can be really challenging for you. 

It sounds like you have a lot of resilience to have been dealing with this since your daughter was 14 years old. You are looking after yourself by reaching out for support but please remember to take care of yourself too. 

The community is here to support you so please post and share your thoughts and feelings.

Take care
