Not coping
Hello.
I have 2 teenage daughters with mental health challenges.
My 15 yr old is currently in hospital with FND, and in the psych care ward. She has Aspergers, anxiety, and now FND. She is currently in a wheelchair.
My 19 year old daughter is also Aspergers with high anxiety. She’s had a tough 18 months with an abusive relationship, attempted suicide and self harm.
Whenever she (19 yr) gets anxious or has a panic attack, I’m the one who cops it. This morning I drove her to a job at 5am (2 hour drive). Then when she had a panic attack and security wouldn’t let me back into the backstage area, she lost it. She has called me every name in the book, blamed me for everything, called me a liar, threatened to self harm (which she did) and has done her best to belittle me and make me feel guilty. I’m stuck here until the end of the job, 7pm.
She is usually remorseful after these episodes but i have to wait it out.
Im so tired! I’ve been staying at hospital with the 15 yr old (2 hours away from home) for a week and will need to go back tonight for another 2 weeks.
When does it get better?!?!?
Any strategies would be helpful.
Thanks for reading me rant.
