I am really needing advice as to what to do for my daughter she is just getting worse and I dont know what to do!!! And for me it is getting hard because as a mom I want to be able to "fix" what is wrong and I cant. I find myself getting angry at everything including her and that is so not fair.... I have her on medications and seeing a counseler and a psychatrist and I am trying to be understanding and here for her but all she says is "you dont understand... nothing is helping" . When I ask her what is worse she says that the voices are starting to control EVERYTHING. they are telling her how to feel ,what to say ect. I am scared to let her go anywhere cause everytime she goes somewhere with friends the voices tell her to walk out in traffic or to do something self harming. the doctors keep telling us this is all has to do with the depression ( meaning the voices) but I have never heard of that before and i was wondering if anyone else has. sorry about the rant but I am just feeling so alone and scared both for me and my daughter. I know that she knows but I also suffer from depression and this is getting so hard for me. I just want to run away and hide from all this pain.

lovebird my daughter has also suffer from voices? If you don't mind me asking how old is your daughter? Depending on age the meds can cause increase voices and wanting to hurt her self. Was this the issue that got her on meds? Danielle was 16 when they placed her on meds and when they did she began hearing voices to harm her self. Some people have reverse reactions to meds. For a prime example Danielle is now 23 years old she had surgery and was having anxiety and they placed her on meds and it caused her to hear voices and see things that were not their. Since she been released she is no longer taking the meds and the voices went away. Question what has she been diagnosed with? Some times med are not the answer Dpt class often work. Do you know what triggers that reaction? I understand you want to run away believe me I have been their my self. Some times the trigger are the cause of the problems. Did something happen in her life that she is scared to talk about? With my daughter it was an issue of someone hurting her. What are the voices telling her sometimes it will give you ideal of whats happening. Are the voices male or female, what age group are the voices? My heart and pray go out to you be strong and believe within your self you are doing a good jod at helping your daughter you are asking question.

lovebirds I am writing back to you I saw your profile. I understand my quest one voice is an older man the other is a little girl the image of her. My quest would be base on information my daughter went through the same thing. Her step father raped her, and every time he did he told her she was a bad girl and this was her punishment and if she told any one they would be hurt by what she did he would hurt us. The cutting is away to release angry in side. These also increased when Danielle started to take meds. She said it made her feel better when she did. the reason she did not want to take her angry out on any one else. Also that when she was being raped she felt left alone, how could we not realize what was going on why did we not see it. The meds she on is bring up issues deep inside and she acting upon them. She does not know how to handle them, she more then likely is also shamed of her self my daughter went as far as cutting hoer in her leg because how she felt about herself. She is scared you are going to be mad at her for what happen. Sometimes some of the behavior that she is acting out are for your attention. I only speak from experience because I went through the same thing with my daughter she is afraid to be left alone because of the fear someone might harm her again. Once again DPT class are your best bet. This will allow her to act out and face what had happen and learn to deal with the pain she has.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
